Amarinder tells AAP not to 'create chaos' in Punjab

Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) not to "create chaos" in the state in the name of "revolution" and said those coming from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar must realise that they have no right to spread "anarchy".
He asked AAP activists not to behave as "anarchists" saying Punjab cannot afford another era of violence and bloodshed.
Amarinder said spreading and circulating anonymous pamphlets asking people for "revolution" and targeting the leaders of mainstream parties is obviously an attempt by AAP to spread chaos and anarchy which is "highly condemnable and unacceptable".
"Nobody in Punjab wants the situation to go back to the dark era," he said, while hoping better sense will prevail in AAP and it will behave in a democratic manner and not as "anarchists".

"AAP should understand if they want to come here (Punjab) they can do so as a democratic party but not as anarchists crying Inqlabd zindabad and not try to demolish the whole structure of this country particularly in Punjab," Amarinder said here.
The former Punjab Chief Minister also said that those coming from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar must realise that they have no right to spread "anarchy and unrest" in Punjab as they seem to be intending to do.

Referring to circulation of posters in Samana as alleged by Harinderpal Singh Mann, who joined Congress today, Amarinder said, "distribution of pamphlets to create chaos in Punjab for AAP, this is very very dangerous."

"All those police officials, who connived with the Akali
jathedars and framed Congress workers in false cases, their countdown has begun and they will find themselves behind the bars after we form the government in Punjab," he said to reporters outside the police station.
The PCC president claimed that Baldev Singh was booked in a false case after a scuffle between two groups of people in November 2015 just because he was a Congress supporter.
While the police claimed that he had been booked for non-bailable offence, he was still haunted and harassed so much so he had to get bail from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Amarinder said.

"Baldev Singh was being victimised since his daughter Harsimrat Kaur had contested election as a Congress candidate for the Zila Parishad elections," he alleged, adding, this was just one of the examples as everywhere people have been framed for being Congress workers and supporters.
"Baldev Singh's was not the first complaint about false cases as everywhere I go, I get hundreds of such complaints, but the way he (Baldev Singh) broke down while narrating his story could move anyone so I decided to accompany him personally to the police station as that is the least I could have done for him right now," he said to a question as to why he left the programme and personally went to the police station.

He warned the local Akali leaders who were named by the Congress workers for intimidating and persecuting them, that they will meet the same fate.
The Bathinda Lok Sabha constituency is represented by Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur, who is the wife of Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
