"Descendants Of Traitors Questioning Martyrs' Credentials": Bhagwant Mann

The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) chief, who is also the MP from Sangrur, has been under fire for his controversial remark. He had even defended his remark on Bhagat Singh

Days after SAD (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann called freedom fighter Bhagat Singh a "terrorist", Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said no one has any right to question the contribution of great martyrs for the motherland.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) chief, who is also the MP from Sangrur, has been under fire for his controversial remark. He had even defended his remark on Bhagat Singh.

Addressing the gathering during a state-level function to mark the martyrdom day of Shaheed Udham Singh here on Sunday, Chief Minister Mann, without naming anyone, said it is unfortunate that those who swear by the Constitution to enjoy fruits of power raise a question mark on the supreme sacrifice of the martyrs.

The AAP leader alleged that "when our great national heroes and martyrs were waging war against the atrocious British regime, some traitors were siding with the imperialist forces".
