BATHINDA: Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda on Tuesday cautioned the people of Punjab to be careful of the designs of Pakistan as it “did not like the way India was succeeding and progressing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.” He also urged people to keep a strict guard against those within the country who were playing in the hands of the enemies and trying to weaken the nation.
Addressing public meetings at different places in support of party candidates on Tuesday, Nadda said Punjab needs a BJP-led government that will not only take care of Punjab’s chronic problems like mounting debt and drugs, but also national security as the state faced a 600 km long border along Pakistan, which had always wanted and tried to create trouble. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had special love and attachment for Punjab and the Sikhs as he has been working with all sincerity for Hindu-Sikh unity like no one else till now. “If any government can fight drugs and bail out Punjab from the mounting debt, it is only a BJP government,” he said. He pointed out the Prime Minister had fulfilled the long pending demand of the Sikh community to open the Kartarpur Sahib corridor. Similarly, the FCRA approval had been granted to Durbar Sahib, which will facilitate hassle-free donations by the devotees from abroad. Besides, the langar too has been exempted from GST.
