Punjab Chief Minister Tags “AAP”Party , Undemocratic “Disharmony Spreader”
[Sangrur,Punjab] Punjab Chief Minister Calls AAP Party a Disharmony Spreader
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today described the decision of AAP to gherao his residence in Chandigarh as “useless and undemocratic” and alleged the sole motive of the party is to spread “disharmony” in the state.
Asserting that the doors of his house “are open for people across political parties and common man for the betterment of the state”, he asked AAP leaders and others to discuss issues of Punjab with him.
“When the doors are open round the clock, the need to gherao residence is useless, without any essence and undemocratic,” Badal said.
Terming the approach of AAP as a “move of anarchist”, he said, “this undemocratic behaviour will not do any good to the state. It can increase people’s problems,” adding, “the sole motive of AAP is to spread disharmony in state, which will not be tolerated at any cost.”
AAP’s youth wing has decided to gherao Badal’s residence on May 16 to protest “anti-people and anti-farmers polices” of the SAD-BJP government.
Addressing people during sangat darshan programme, the chief minister said Congress and AAP have an “unholy alliance” in the state to “poach on the developmental swing”.
Condemning both the parties for their “anti-Punjab” stand on the issue of state’s river waters, Badal alleged they were trying to “rob the state” of its waters.
On Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal issue, he alleged that Congress has always committed “wrong” over the state’s waters.
Haryana, Rajasthan or any other state did not have any right over state’s waters but the Congress “illegally” gave water to these states.
Alleging that Congress and AAP are against the state’s development, Badal said SYL is not only related to farming sector, as taking away of water rights will not only sound death knell for the farmers, but for the entire economy of Punjab

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today described AAP Party as a “band of fugitives” and “anti-Punjab elements” and asked people of the state not to fall pray to its “misleading propaganda”.
CM Badal was here to pay tributes to the Panth Rattan late Gurcharan Singh Tohra on his 12th death anniversary at his native village.
He exhorted people of Punjab to give another opportunity to the SAD-BJP alliance to serve them and ensure “sustained pace of all-round development and prosperity of all sections of society”.
Badal said “inexperienced and novice” leadership of AAP would certainly “land you in soup” rather than extending a helping hand, “which is evident from its Delhi model of governance”.
Badal asked, “how can you expect a new political entity to do justice, when it is not aware of the hardships faced by the people at grass roots level?”
The Akali Dal leader accused AAP of “fiddling” with the sentiments of innocent people of Punjab and said this was not only deplorable but also highly unethical.
He said “a classic example of their apathy towards Punjab was having denied its rightful share in river waters in defiance of nationally and internationally accepted riparian principle, attack on Harmandar Sahib, 1984 genocide of Sikhs, depriving it of Chandigarh as capital and transfer of Punjabi speaking areas to the state.

(Chandigarh,PunjabI)Punjab CM Writes Demand To Home Minister For Joint Team for Border Inspection
In the wake of the Pathankot terror attack, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today wrote to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh seeking setting up of a joint team of officials of the state and Central security agencies to visit the border with Pakistan, identify vulnerable spots and plug them.
In a letter to the Union Home Minister, Badal wanted him to accord top most priority to this exercise to be undertaken by the joint team to ensure security of the border and safety of the people residing in its vicinity.
The Chief Minister informed Rajnath Singh that there have been instances in recent past of suicide attacks in Punjab at Dinanagar on July 27, 2015 and Pathankot airforce base on January 1.
These suicide attackers are suspected to have intruded into India from the international border in Punjab or adjoining area of Jammu and Kashmir,
In last one year, there have been several incidents of border crossing in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab due to the difficult terrain in the region, despite fencing at most parts of the border.
In recent years, BSF and Punjab Police have also seized a sizeable number of consignments of arms and ammunition near the border fencing.
There have also been seizures of major quantities of heroin in this area by the forces, pointing towards regular attempts by smugglers to use this border as the fencing in the riverine area gets damaged during floods leaving gaps, Badal pointed out.
