Lashing out at AAP leaders, he said neither the AAP's national convener Arvind Kejriwal nor Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann visited Amritsar following the attempt to damage the statue.
"Kejriwal speaks only lies. He is the biggest opponent of the Constitution and Baba Saheb," Mr. Lal alleged. "This incident can never be tolerated," he further said and added there is a conspiracy behind it.
Asked when the panel would submit its report, he said they will soon submit it.
