SAD asks Cong not to vitiate atmosphere in Punjab by opposing commutation of Rajoana's sentence

Chandigarh, Nov 14 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday asked the Congress not to oppose the commutation of the death sentence of Balwant Singh Rajoana into life imprisonment, saying nothing should be done to vitiate the atmosphere during the year-long celebrations of 550th Prakash Purb of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji.
In a statement here, former MP Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra said it was condemnable that Congress wanted to not only revive the past, but was also inciting sentiments by making provocative statements on the occasion of the 550th Prakash Purb, when a most peaceful and congenial atmosphere had been created in the state with the blessings of Guru Sahab.
He said Congress should accept the healing touch applied by the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following appeals of the SAD and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
