“Badal’s hands are stained with Sant Ji’s blood as he betrayed him and backed out of the Rajiv-Longowal accord that eventually led to his assassination,” Capt Amarinder said, rejecting Badal’s allegation that Congress was to be blamed for Sant Longowal’s assassination.

“Either you have lost your conscience or you have lost your memory; or you wouldn’t be blaming others?”
