A day after Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann slammed BJP led Union government for rejecting the tableau of state for the Republic Day parade, Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal has also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene against discrimination against proud, patriotic and valorous Punjab and Punjabis through the exclusion of the state from R-Day parade.
Badal said, “How can any national event be deemed complete without highlighting the heritage of the great Guru Sahiban, the Sahibzadas and countless heroes and martyrs of freedom struggle like Shaheed-E-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh, Sardar Kartar Singh Sarabha, Sardar Udham Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai. Anyone responsible for this injustice to the land of martyrs deserves to be identified and held accountable.”
