Jalandhar: Terming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal as a ‘Khalistani’, Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted for the assassination of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh, said that AAP is a front of ‘Khalistani supporters’ in Punjab to weaken the ‘Panth’.
Rajoana’s sister Kamaldeep Kaur Rajoana reportedly posted his message on her Facebook on Saturday.
In the post, Rajoana said that he has been lodged in different jails for the past 23 years but none of the ‘Khalistani’ supporters has ever visited the jail to meet him or did anything to bolster the Sikh religion in Punjab or across the world.
“I have been facing a death penalty for over a decade now and in this period, I have realized that the ‘Khalistani moment’ is just an eyewash to gain political mileage. And some so-called supporters of this moment have also been misguiding the Sikhs for years,” the post read.
The post further read that under ‘Referendum 2020’, they gave advantage to AAP party and its leaders as they got huge funds from them to do treacherous propaganda to misguide Sikhs in 2017 Vidhan Sabha elections while denting the image of Akali Dal party.
Rajoana was employed as a constable in Punjab Police before he was convicted for his involvement in an explosion outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat in 1995. The explosion had killed CM Beant Singh and 16 others.
