Jalandhar, May 28
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday paid obeisance at Village Seechewal during the 38th Salana Barsi Samagam (death anniversary) of Sant Baba Avtar Singh and projected a confident vision of a resurgent and self-reliant Punjab.
Mann asserted, “It is high time that Punjabis unite to give a befitting reply to divisive forces that are enemies of the peace, amity and communal harmony of the state. Those trying to disturb communal harmony are enemies of Punjab because they want to push the state back into dark days. These forces want to gain power by creating communal strife, but they will not succeed because people in Punjab celebrate all festivals together.”
Urging people to remain united, the Chief Minister added, “Some political parties are trying to divide people in the name of religion. Their politics revolves around creating divisions between communities and then frightening both sides for votes. People must remain cautious of such politics. These people spread hatred by dividing society on the basis of caste and religion, but the AAP does not believe in such politics.”
