According to a written statement by Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC), former Punjab CM asked AAP leaders that “[w]hen the Canadian MPs and the ministers do not have any objection to what I said, what makes you to act as their spokespersons?”.
“…or is it because you have to show your loyalty towards them lest the flow of the funds stops for you?”, Amarinder further asked AAP leaders.
“I am surprised over the pain and hurt caused to you for my saying that some of the ministers in the Canadian government are Khalistan supporters, which they actually are as they have been openly supporting Khalistan”, Capt Amarinder said, while reacting to the statements of Kanwar Sandhu and Sukhpal Khaira made during a press conference on June 28 at Chandigarh.
