Badal hits out at Amarinder

Slamming his predecessor Capt Amarinder Singh for allegedly issuing baseless statements on “sensitive issues” concerning the farmers of state, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today asked him to refrain from “politicising” each and every issue for his own vested interests.

Badal said before issuing any statement the opposition leaders must remember that the farmers were facing a number of problems due to the nature’s fury in <g data-gr-id="17">form</g> of unseasonal rain and hailstorm, he said. He said it was unfortunate that instead of expressing solidarity with the farmers in this hour of crisis, Amarinder was playing dirty politics over this issue by irrelevantly issuing unwarranted and unjustified statements.

Badal said people and governments were helpless before natural disasters and the damage caused in Nepal due to <g data-gr-id="13">earthquake</g> was an example of it.
