Jalandhar, April 29. Pointing towards sloganeering in support of militancy during Punjab bandh on March 28, Congress Legislature Party leader Sunil Jakhar has urged Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to ensure that such incidents are not repeated.

Speaking at a function here today, the CLP leader said Punjabis in general and those belonging to a particular community were scared as a number of youths brandishing swords had raised slogans in support of Khalistan and Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale during Punjab bandh observed to demand clemency for Balwant Singh Rajoana.

Stating that Badal was a liberal face in his fundamentalist party, Jakhar said: He is custodian of all communities and he should ensure that such incidents should not occur as the same thing had happened before the beginning of terrorism several decades ago”.
