Punjab Congress president Warring asks who’s running Punjab — Mann or Amit Shah?

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today asked Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann that who was actually running Punjab — he or the Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He asked this in connection to the arrest of Amritpal Singh and his subsequent shifting to Dibrugarh jail at the Centre’s behest.

He said Shah's statement has come close on the heels of the AAP government’s brutal crackdown on farmers, about which nobody had any doubts as to who had pulled the strings for that action.

Reacting to Union Home Minister’s recent statement in the Parliament suggesting that it was they (the Central Government), which had jailed Amritpal Singh and his associates to Dibrugarh jail.

“The Congress has always held that the Aam Aadmi Party is the B-team of the BJP and the irrefutable evidence and certification came when Home Minister Amit Shah claimed in the Parliament that the Central Government had arrested Amritpal Singh, now an elected MP, and sent him along with his associates to Dibrugarh jail. We thought the Punjab Police did it. Now we know at whose behest,” he remarked in a jibe at the state government.

Asserting that the people of Punjab already knew that the CM was following the diktats of the Union Home Minister, he asked, “Do we need any further evidence that our CM follows the diktats of the Union Home Minister?” He pointed out that Mann heads the Punjab Home Ministry.

The PCC president asked Mann that he should clarify and contradict the Union Home Minister or it would be reaffirmed what the people of Punjab already know for the last three years.
