Bathinda, December 4
“The Congress has no right to speak over the issue of installation of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale’s poster as there are proofs that reveal the ties between former Congress leaders with him,” said Kamal Sharma, state general secretary, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Sharma expressed regret over the installation of the Bhindranwale’s poster at the Akal Takht Sahib. Condemning the act of the SGPC, he said, “We had belief in the SGPC that it will take the right action, but it has not done so. We give one more chance to the SGPC to think over the matter and resolve it as soon as possible,” he added.
The BJP leader was here as a convener for the ceremony to be held here on December 8 to mark the birthday of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
He further said that the main reason for celebrating the day is that Badal has completed 50 years of his political career. “He is a towering personality not only in the state but in country as well,” he added.
He further apprised that senior party leaders Lal Krishna Advani, Balbir Punj, Kiran Ghai, all MLAs, chief parliamentary secretaries and over 10,000 BJP workers would arrive to celebrate the occasion.
Badal is supposed to lay the foundation stone of an international cricket stadium to be built at an estimated cost of Rs 25 crores. Nearly 29 acres of land have been acquired for the purpose. The stadium would be completed in two years time.
Replying to a question about the proposed rally to be held in the city on that day, Sharma said, “It is day of happiness. So it should not be called a political rally. All are coming here just to celebrate the birthday of the CM.”
On the question of the BJP’s long-pending demand for the post of deputy chief minister, he parried the topic saying he is not the competent authority to speak on such issues.
Reverting back to the issue of red beacon lights for SGPC leaders, he said that the CM has already said that if any religious head needs it, he is invited to give an application and an authorised committee would decide the same.
The BJP general secretary refused to support the bandh call in Punjab on December 14 in clear terms.
When asked about Simaranjeet Singh Maan’s statement about martyr Bhagat Singh, he said that it only meant that Maan must have lost his mental balance.
“The party has not yet received any formal letter about making Sukhbir Singh Badal the CM of the state. But he is young, energetic and dynamic. So, he would be considered if the proposal comes up.”
