Amarinder blames AAP for attack on Bittu & Zira at Singhu border

Patiala, Jan 25 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday said the attack on a state Congress MP and MLA at Singhu Border was not the handiwork of the peacefully protesting farmers but of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers, whose only agenda was to weaken the farmers’ fight by creating trouble at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The farmers had been protesting peacefully at the Delhi border for two months without resorting to any such acts, he pointed out, adding that AAP workers present near the Kisan Sansad had attacked and manhandled Punjab Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu and MLA Kulbir Singh Zira. “AAP is camping there,” he said, asserting that “No one but AAP is responsible for the attack. “Farmers are not responsible,” he added.
They (AAP) should understand, however, that this country is thriving on `lokshahi’ (democracy) and not `dhakashahi’ (push and shove), said the Chief Minister, speaking with mediapersons on the sidelines of various events here in Patiala.
