Punjab can’t be governed from Delhi, says former RAW chief Dulat

Kolkata, February 25

Former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) chief AS Dulat has warned against “mis-governance” in the “sensitive border state” of Punjab and asserted that it can’t be “governed from Delhi”.

Dulat, however, said he did not foresee another outbreak of militancy in Punjab, but stressed that the state needed “empathy”.

I am of the firm belief that neither Punjab nor Kashmir can be governed from Delhi. People are resentful of it,” the former RAW director told PTI video in an interview.

“Though Bhagwant Mann (Punjab CM) is a decent person, he is not competent…(Arvind) Kejriwal (Delhi CM) can’t run Punjab,” he said.
