Punjab: The former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab and leader of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Sukhbir singh Badal on Tuesday in a gathering appealed people to support his party and make it strong to came back in power says he was ready to sacrifice his life for the ‘panth’ (community) as well as peace.
Addressing a gathering at the Maghi Mela, Badal harked back to history to urge the people to again repose their trust in the Akali Dal in the same manner as the 40 Mukta had been welcomed back.
He also said that today the need of the hour is to strengthen our ‘kaum’ and the SAD alone can do this. I vow to you that like (late Chief Minister) Parkash Singh Badal, I will do everything in my capacity for the welfare of the people. “Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will do so for the sake of Punjab, Punjabiyat, and the Khalsa Panth,” he said.
In a highly emotive speech, Badal cautioned the ‘panth’ and Punjab against the politics of communal divisiveness and bloodshed of Punjabi youth and asserted he would never flinch from the path of peace and communal harmony shown by the great gurus, saints, and seers.
He asserted he had already owned full responsibility on behalf of the party so that the people of the state could move forward into a future full of hope, peace and prosperity for our youth.
“The alternative agenda being offered by some so called Panthic outfits is to push the state, especially its youth back into the jaws of fratricidal bloodshed and elimination of Sikh youth in fake encounters.”
He also made it clear that the leader of a faction which was opening its political shop today had launched a campaign against drugs but his own family member was caught with drugs.
Badal appealed to the people that in case his father had committed any mistake, he was ready to take responsibility for it.
