Punjabis expect CM Channi to 'defeat conspiracy to establish central rule' over Punjab: Sukhbir Badal

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal targeted Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi over the extension of the BSF's jurisdiction, and he should tell "why he had acquiesced" to the Centre's move.

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday targeted the Punjab government over the extension of the BSF's jurisdiction, saying the chief minister should tell "why he had acquiesced" to the Centre's move.

“Chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi should come clean and tell Punjabis why he had acquiesced to extending the jurisdiction of the BSF to cover nearly half of the state during his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently,” Badal told reporters here after paying obeisance at Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal.
