SAD-B attacks Cong over stand on BSF jurisdiction

Ludhiana, October 28

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD-B) today charged the Punjab Congress leadership of having divergent stand on the extension in the jurisdiction of the BSF in border states while asking the top leadership of the party to come clear on the issue.

Addressing media persons here, leader and former minister Maheshinder Singh Grewal and former chief parliamentary secretary Harish Rai Dhanda said Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi had denounced the move by the Centre saying the decision was against the basics of the federal structure and had also gone on to say that a special Assembly session was being convened to reject this decision.

The Akali leader asked the top Congress leadership to make their stand on the issue clear before the public. “Congress leadership should also tell the people whether it intended to take any action against Capt Amarinder Singh for his divergent stand against the party or is the party taking a stand different than CM Channi,” he added. —OC
