Punjab CM Channi requests PM Modi to order probe into separatism allegations against Kejriwal

New Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Thursday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order a probe into separatism allegations against Kejriwal

“Politics aside, people of Punjab have paid a heavy price while fighting separatism. Hon’ble PM needs to address the worry of every Punjabi,” he said.

Earlier, PM Modi had also referred to former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas’s remarks at a rally in Punjab and alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal and his party have the “same agenda” as Pakistan — “to break India… to join hands with separatists to get power”. The allegations, he said, should be taken seriously by every voter and citizen.

Meanwhile, Kumar Vishwas’ video has also provided Punjab CM Channi an opportunity to hit back at his Delhi counterpart as he is also under the fire for his “UP, Bihar, Delhi de bhaiye” remark.

“One day, he told me he would either become the chief minister (of Punjab)…or the first prime minister of an independent nation (Khalistan),” Vishwas told news agency ANI.

As CM of Punjab, I request Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji to order an impartial enquiry in the matter of @DrKumarVishwas Ji’s video. Politics aside, people of Punjab have paid a heavy price while fighting separatism. Hon’ble PM needs to address the worry of every Punjabi. pic.twitter.com/aoSwie55yx
