Chandigarh, Nov 9 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Waring for his repeated “controversial” statements and “shameful” conduct.
Taking a dig at Waring, CM Mann said, “I have 32 teeth, and sometimes my words come true. When our government was formed in 2022, these Congress leaders could not digest the people’s mandate and started making baseless allegations against us. Even then, I had said, at this pace, they will go mad by 2026. Looking at Raja Waring today, it seems that the prediction was right. No healthy minded person will act like this.”
The Chief Minister said Raja Waring’s recent actions of “mocking” the Sikh Kakars and religious sentiments of the community not only reflected his ignorance but also reflected the deep-rooted “anti-Sikh” mentality within the Congress.
“The Congress leadership has always shown blatant disregard for the Sikh faith and Sikh identity. Their actions continue to hurt the sentiments of millions of people and Raja Warring has once again proved that the Congress has neither learned from history nor changed its ways,” CM Mann said in a statement here.
He further commented, “Now it appears that we have additional responsibilities ahead of us; we may have to create government mental hospitals for such leaders, because their frustration and hatred has crossed all limits. Instead of doing constructive politics, they are insulting communities and spreading poison.”
CM Mann said that while the Aam Aadmi Party government is focused on delivering clean governance, development and welfare schemes for the people of Punjab, the Congress leadership is busy in personal attacks and theatrics.
Last week, Raja Waring was summoned by the state Scheduled Caste Commission for allegedly making casteist remarks against former Union Home Minister Buta Singh, but he failed to appear before the commission citing his engagement in the Tarn Taran assembly bypoll scheduled for November 11.
The police had registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Code of Justice (BNS) 2023 as well as the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989 for commenting on Raja Warringah.
