SAD leader demands economic, agricultural and territorial package for Punjab
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Punjab, Shiromani Akali Dal patron Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday asked the Prime Minister to take some concrete steps to expose the conspiracy behind the on-going incidents of sacrilege against the Sikh faith, besides resolving the other political, religious and economic issues.
“As PM, you would earn a lot of good will and my personal gratitude if, before coming here, you announce an economic, political, agricultural and territorial package to meet the demands of the Punjabis,” he said.
The former Chief Minister said thousands of families are still awaiting justice for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He said he was making this request just to remind him of his sacred obligations to the country’s food bowl and sword arm — Punjab.
