CHANDIGARH, AUGUST 13: Accusing Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal for raising “Bogey” on ISI threat in Punjab to create fear and panic among people, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), today said that Sukhbir got exposed on his ‘evil designs’ by none other than his father and CM Parkash Singh Badal, who categorically ruled out any such threat.
“It is ridiculous that Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, who also holds Home Portfolio is virtually terrorising the people of Punjab by raising bogey of ISI threat”, Head of the Campaign Committee and AAP MP Bhagwant Mann said.
It is pertinent to mention here that within couple of days after Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal claimed that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI was planning attacks on state’s political leaders, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday said “There is no direct evidence about the involvement of the ISI or any other foreign agency in any of the cases, including the attack on RSS leader Gagneja and incidents of sacrilege.
AAP also has refused to buy the theory and accused Sukhbir of conspiring attacks on opposition leaders including AAP supremo and New Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
The AAP leader said that fearing a clear defeat in the assembly elections, the Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal was levelling baseless accusations against the party that it was hobnobbing with the hardliners.
In the garb of pretended ISI threat, Sukhbir Badal may create disturbance in the state by conspiring attacks on the AAP leaders, as the party has emerged as a serious political challenge for Akalis, Mann apprehended.
Sukhbir’s bogey of ISI threat could be termed as “most serious and well planned” conspiracy to create fear among the general public, Mann said.
“It cannot be ruled out that under the garb of ISI threat, Sukhbir may conspire for fierce and deadly attacks on AAP leaders in Punjab”, Mann alleged.
