Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, August 3-

The AAP has strongly criticized the BJP and raised many questions on the Central govt for not allowing Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to go to see the ongoing Olympic Games in Paris. Senior AAP leader and spokesperson Neel Garg said that BJP is doing politics in the name of security. PM Narendra Modi does not want any opposition leader of India to reach international platform.

Neel Garg said that CM Mann wants to go to Paris to encourage hockey players in the ongoing Olympic Games, but the BJP government at the Center deliberately did not allow him to go citing security reasons. This is absolutely wrong.

Garg said that last year Arvind Kejriwal was also stopped from going to Singapore in a similar way. AAP leader and Delhi government minister Gopal Rai was also stopped. Now news is coming that Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan is not being allowed to go to America to attend a political program. This is an int to the narrow mentality of BJP.

Garg said that 10 players in the Indian hockey team for the Olympics are from Punjab. Both the captain and the vice-captain are from Punjab.
