Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal demanded that the Congress party be declared an anti-national party in the wake of its aligning with elements having secessionist agenda.
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today disclosed that the state government had the evidence of the role of "foreign agencies" behind the 'Sarbat Khalsa' congregation at Chabba village recently.
He said that the evidence will soon be shared with the CBI probing the alleged desecration incidents in the state.
Addressing the media in Chandigarh, Mr Badal said recent revelations had also proved that the Congress party was in close coordination with radical elements who had organised the November 10 congregation and also had a hand in drafting of the resolutions.
He demanded that the Congress party be declared an anti-national party in the wake of its aligning with elements having secessionist agenda.
The deputy chief minister said now it was clear that the conspiracies hatched by the foreign elements were behind the recent unfortunate incidents of desecration in the state.
Hitting out at the opposition Congress, Mr Badal said that the party was emerging as the axis around which the whole conspiracy revolved.
The president of ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) also hit out at AAP for engaging in running a malicious campaign on social media against the government.
Mr Badal noted that SAD-BJP government has taken a decision in the Cabinet meeting held today, to approve life sentence for the culprits of sacrilege incidents, whereas the maximum sentence for such cases was three years.
Promising to uplift the socio-economic fabric of the state, the deputy chief minister said that the state government will soon advertise for 1,14,000 new jobs which would result in channelising the youth's energy in the right direction.
The leader also exhorted the people to reject the divisive and communal politics of the Congress and other radical parties and thwart their nefarious design.
