"This is an incident which should be condemned by all as it is not part of political culture of this state," he added. However, at the same time, he claimed that this incident could not be taken in isolation as it manifested the latent anger of the people against this government which had been selling dreams, but failed to come up to its own promises.

"You can befool some people for some time, but cannot mislead them all the time. This is the result of frustration against the functioning of Badal's government and sooner he realised it, better it would be. The anger simmering below the otherwise calm surface could take the shape of a volcano anytime and that would be tragic", he said.
