Punjab Newsline, Amritsar, February 15-
Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday warned the Modi led Union government to refrain from turning the holy city of Amritsar into ‘detention or deportee’ centre by repeatedly sending the planes carrying deportees on this sacred land.
The Chief Minister, who visited the Sri Guru Ram Dass International Airport’ to foresee the arrangements for receiving the deportees scheduled to land later in night today, reminded the Government of India that history is replete with examples that whosoever has tried to cast a malicious eye on this land had never survived. He said that the Modi government was indulging in dirty tantrums by landing the planes of deportees on repeatedly on this revered land with the sole motive of defaming the Punjab and Punjabis.
The Chief Minister reminded the BJP and Modi that this sacred land which is being used by them for tarnishing the image of Punjabis has several sacred places like Sri Harmandir Sahib, Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal, Durgiana Mandir and Jallianwala Bagh, where hundreds of innocent patriots had laid down their lives for sake of freedom of the country.
