Chandigarh, Jan 22 (UNI) Comparing the decisions of the ruling dispensation at the Centre to those taken by the German government, headed by Adolf Hitler during the 1940s, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday sent a copy of 'Mein Kampf' to SAD chief Sukhbir Badal, advising him to read Adolf Hitler’s autobiography to understand the dangerous implications of the unconstitutional legislation passed by the Central government, of which the Akalis were very much a part.
Given the current attempts by the Centre to replicate Hitler’s agenda is India, it was important for the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders to read the former German Chancellor's autobiography, before coming out with irrational reactions on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), said the Chief Minister, while questioning Mr Badal's logic in interpreting his criticism of SAD's stand on CAA as being 'anti-Sikh.'
The recent statements of various Akali leaders, including Sukhbir, clearly exposed their ignorance on this sensitive issue, with grave repercussions for the nation, said Captain Singh, urging Mr Badal to read the book and decide 'whether it’s country first or political expediency'.
