new Delhi, November 18

Senior Congress leader and former Ludhiana MP Manish Tewari today urged the Centre and Punjab to work closely for the preservation of peace in the state, describing the blast as the Pakistan ISI’s attempt to reactivate the Khalistan file.

As someone who lost his father to militancy in Punjab, Tewari said: “What has happened today is definitely the ISI and Pakistan’s act. It shows Punjab is in their crosshairs again.”

“The ISI has activated its Khalistan file again. The US which is looking to get out from the Afghanistan-Pakistan region wants Pakistan to rein in terror groups in both Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has started clamping down on these groups in Afghanistan but doesn’t want the proxy war in India to end. It is becoming clear that Punjab which was off the radar of Pakistan for nearly three decades is back in its crosshairs. The recent terror attacks in Gurdaspur, Pathankot and now Amritsar are ISI game plan. We must watch out,” said Tewari, urging CM Capt Amarinder with a Twitter appeal, “We must protect our peace.” — TNS
