Chandigarh, February 1, 2026(Yes Punjab News)
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today said that while everyone is welcome to visit any religious place or dera, their politicisation should be avoided.
Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Dera Balan in Jalandhar today, Warring said, the politicization of deras must be avoided. He hinted at the Prime Minister’s visit to the Dera ahead of the Punjab assembly elections scheduled within a year.
On Halwara airport, Warring, who is also the Ludhiana MP, said that it was the result of integrated efforts by multiple governments. He said, while the Prime Minister did inaugurate it today, the land for the Civilian terminal was acquired during the time of the Congress government.
Asked why he did not attend the inaugural function, he said, as the local MP he expected a respectful and unconditional invitation and not with a condition that he will not be allowed to speak.
“I am happy as an MP that the long pending demand of my people has been fulfilled and I thank and congratulate everyone concerned”, he said, while adding, “at the same time, an MP expects to be treated with respect and dignity as he is not just an individual but representative of about twenty lakh people”.
