Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh today termed the attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal’s convoy in his Jalalabad constituency as unfortunate, he however said that it had been expected as there was pent-up anger among the people, who had been simply waiting for the code of conduct to be imposed before venting it.
The PPCC chief, however, urged the people not to resort to violence but to use the ballot to avenge themselves against the terror and victimisation unleashed on them by the Badal government over the past 10 years.
While their anger was justified, it was not correct for the people to take the law into their hands and they should wait for the polling day, which was less than a month away, to take out their fury against the misrule of the Badals, Capt Singh said.
He pointed out that he had all along maintained that the Badals would not be able to step into their own villages without facing the wrath of the people once the code of conduct is in place.
Addressing mediapersons in Chandigarh, Manpreet Badal said the Badals were responsible for the unfortunate development as they had pushed the people of the state to despair with their cruel and criminal actions.
