- RAHUL’s VISIT WAS TOTALLY POLITICAL AND DIVERSIONARY EXERCISE FROM VADRAGATE
- ALL LEADERS INCLUDING CONGRESS LEADERS GETTING SECURITY COVER AS PER THREAT PERCEPTIONS
CHANDIGARH, OCTOBER 12: Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal today
rubbished the statement of Congress General Secretary Mr. Rahul Gandhi regarding “7
out of 10 youth” of Punjab are drug addicts and said that by making this
baseless and exaggerated, sweeping statement Mr. Gandhi has insulted
52 % youth population of Punjab painting every single youth with black brush.
Speaking
to mediapersons on the sidelines of conference on Power organized by CII here
today Mr. Badal describe the immature statement of Congress general secretary
as a
diversionary exercise to deflect the attention of media from ongoing
Vadragate and Coalgate. Describing the visit of Mr. Rahul Gandhi a purely
political exercise, Mr. Badal said that by making this statement he has tried
to cover the internal contradictions and infighting in the Punjab unit of
Congress Party that was dominating the visit of Rahul to
Holding Union Home Ministry under whose command Border Security
Force operates responsible for increasing trans border smuggling of Drugs and
Ammunition from across Pakistan ,
Mr. Badal said that Punjab cannot be blamed
for increasing flow of drugs as BSF has failed to check the inflow of drugs. He
said that Western borders was so porous that drug recoveries by Punjab police
during last five year were more than 50% of National Recovery, indicating the
total collapse of BSF. He said that it was imperative for Union Government to
properly seal the border with Pakistan
When
asked about complaints of Congress leaders regarding reduction of security
cover, Mr. Badal said that security cover was decided by a committee in which
representatives of Central agencies were also there on the basis of threat
perception of each leader and security cover was increased or decreased as per
their reports. He said that he was not drawing any distinction between leaders
of various parties because as a Home Minister of the state he was responsible
for security of every citizen of Punjab .
