SAD’s doublespeak exposed, says Capt
Lashing out at the SAD chief for his “doublespeak” on the issue of a resolution passed during the all-party meeting on Wednesday, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh dared Sukhbir to come out with a categorical statement that “his party does not extend even conditional support to it”. Reacting to Sukhbir’s “false claims” on what transpired at the meeting, Capt Amarinder accused him of misleading people.

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today flayed Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and the Congress for “trying to deceive farmers by issuing a false and misleading” press statement about the all-party meeting held here yesterday.
Terming the statement released by the state government on the meeting as a “breach of faith”, the SAD president alleged the release had been manipulated to show that the SAD had supported the resolutions moved by the government.
Sukhbir also played the recording of his speech during the meeting to make his stance public. He separately wrote a letter to the Chief Minister, criticising the manner in which the Congress had tried to “mislead farmers by misquoting him”.
“I promised everyone at the meeting that the MSP and assured marketing will not end. We even agreed to accompany a delegation to the Prime Minister to clarify the doubts, if any. However, this was misinterpreted by the government in its press release by stating that the SAD would accompany a delegation of representatives of all political parties led by the CM to get the Central ordinances withdrawn,” he added.
