Chandigarh, August 16, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal, while strongly reacting to the comments of Sukhbir Singh Badal, said that the Shiromani Akali Dal is like a bankrupt and failed bank that has already mortgaged its ideology and is now issuing bounced cheques.
In a press communiqué issued here today, the Finance Minister stated, “Today Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal uttering gibberish remarks of ideological differences between us, but he has to introspect first before pointing out others.
“The Akali Dal has failed the two key constituents that it had always proclaimed to champion”, said Mr. Manpreet Singh Badal, adding that the Akali Dal failed the farmers in passing the three farm bills and it was in cahoots with the BJP in destroying the backbone of Indian agriculture. Secondly, it always claimed to be a champion for the cause of the Sikhs, but actually the party has let the community down time and again- be it the 1979 incident in Amritsar that triggered the Punjab crisis, or sacrilege incidents at Bargari and other places in 2015.
The Finance Minister further said, “So while I wish good luck to the Akali Dal, people are fully aware the Akali Dal is an outdated and ideologically bankrupt party and like a failed bank, the cheques issued from their boastful coffers are bouncing and will always be,” Manpreet Singh Badal added.
