Chandigarh, January 17

Unfazed by threats of some radical forces to his life, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday categorically said he was the custodian of peace, progress and prosperity of the state and such intimidation could not stop him from this noble task.

Interacting with mediapersons here on the sidelines of a function to hand over job letters to the youth, the Chief Minister said such threats were the natural outcome of the zero-tolerance policy adopted by the government to foil the nefarious designs of anti-Punjab forces.

He said these people were trying to disturb the hard-earned peace of the state but his government would not allow these forces to succeed in their evil designs. Mann said Punjab, being a border state, was hostile to such challenges both from within and outside the state, adding that they would face it valiantly by not succumbing to such threats.

The Chief Minister said the masterminds of such anti-Punjab stances had taken shelter abroad but they were trying to bring them back and punish them for their sins. He said the countries that were haven to such dreaded criminals should also send these hardcore criminals back to the state in the larger interest of world peace.

Mann said the Centre should also take steps to bring such dreaded anti-national criminals back to the country and punish them as per the law of land.

Taking a jibe over Congress leader Navjot Sidhu, the Chief Minister described him as a ‘fugitive’ who ran away from discharging duty when he was offered the charge of Power Minister. He said now when the state government had started a reverse trend by purchasing a private thermal power plant, Sidhu was making baseless and misleading statements.

The Chief Minister reiterated that Punjab would win all 13 seats of the Lok Sabha in the coming poll. He said the government had done a marvellous work for the welfare of the people, so the masses would again stand with them. Mann said history would be created in the state when AAP win by 13-0.
