New Delhi: (Source News 18) Khalistan supporters based in Canada are heard shouting assassination threats against Punjab CM Amarinder Singh in a series of audio recordings accessed by CNN-News18.
The protesters, in what appear to be open threats to Amarinder, are heard shouting, “Captain, there was a CM from your party called Beant; you had to collect pieces of his body to perform the last rites.” A former Punjab chief minister, Beant Singh, was killed in a car bombing in retaliation for his anti-insurgency operations in Punjab.
Captain Amarinder Singh, “least bothered by these threats”, told CNN-News18 that even if “those fellows shout their heads off in Canada, it doesn’t bother me even the slightest bit.”
“We are very clear in our mind: we want a strong country, we want a stable country, we want a stable Punjab. I want Punjab to be stable so that I can get on with the business of development,” he added.
