Interacting with media persons before kicking off Rs. 4000 crore civic amenities projects throughout the state from here, Mr. Badal said the people, who were opposing the delegation were very few in number and they just wanted to show their existence through unnecessary protests. He said that it was also very unfortunate that PPCC President Mr. Partap Singh Bajwa was in support of anti-Punjab forces.
On the issue of release of Sikh prisoners from jails, the Deputy Chief Minister also made it clear that the Supreme Court had barred the states to release any prisoner before completion of his conviction.
