“ I will happily shed even the last drop of my blood to safeguard peace and communal harmony in Punjab”: CM BADAL
Blast could be part of conspiracy which started with incidents of sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Conspiracy to bring back dark days (Kaale din) in Punjab : Badal S.A.D. stands like a rock to safegaurd peace in punjab “ I will happily shed even the last drop of my blood to safeguard peace and communal harmony in Punjab”: CM BADAL Badal - The Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal said that incidents of sacrilege of Shri Guru Granth Sahib in Punjab and the bomb blast in Maud Mandi could be links in the same chain and a part of a deep rooted conspiracy to divide Punjabis against Punjabis and ruin the hard earned atmosphere of peace and communal harmony in the state. “Dangers to peace lurk around the corner and it has needed the maximum vigil on the part of the Govt and the people to keep the enemies of peace at bay. There is a conspiracy to bring back the old dark days in Punjab. ” Mr Badal said that he was not surprised that every mischievous act is followed by a sustained political campaign to malign the SAD-BJP government. That has been a set pattern since the incidents of sacrilege of Shri Guru Granth Sahib. It is unfortunate that responsible political parties and their leaders hobnobbed with elements opposed to peace. They have worked together with these elements only to weaken Akalis. “ Every act of anti-peace elements is followed by a sustained political assault against SAD as our enemies believe that they cannot achieve their goals without weakening the SAD politically. These elements have been getting active and unethical support from our political rivals.” Mr Badal said that elements out to disturb peace believe that it will be so much easier to achieve their destructive goals if SAD could be removed from the way. That is why they regard me and SAD as their enemy number one . In this, they have found a friend in our political opponents and they have joined hands at the cost of peace in the state. He said that there was clearly a conspiracy to destabilize peace in Punjab and blame SAD-BJP alliance for it . The tragic incidents of sacrilege and now the blast IN Maur Mandi are links in the same chain. These are parts of one and the same conspiracy to destablise Punjab and tarnish the image of SAD by blaming it for everything.” The Chief Minister declared that the Shiromani Akali Dal will always stand as “the tallest and immovable rock to safeguard peace and communal harmony in Punjab against elements who are out to set the state aflame. I have devoted my life to preserving peace in Punjab and I will happily shed the last drop of my blood while doing so.” Commenting on last Maud Mandi incident, Mr Badal said that this appears to be the ‘climax of a series of conspiracies which started with shocking incidents of sacrilege of Shri Guru Granth Sahib in the state. It is clear that a deep rooted conspiracy is at work to disturb peace and communal harmony in Punjab.’ The Chief Minister said that the timing of last night’s incident clearly shows their design to defame the government on the maintenance of peace and communal harmony. "The SAD has defended peace and communal harmony like a rock during these ten years. Right now, however, the administrative machinery of the state is at the disposal of the Election Commission. Everything, including the police, is controlled by the EC. The enemies of peace have chosen this moment to strike as they know that the law enforcing machinery is focused on the conduct of elections. So mischievous elements took advantage of that situation and chose this timing to strike.” The Chief Minister said that as long as he is alive, he will continue to devote every breath of his life to peace and communal harmony in Punjab which is sacred to him.
