Center Is Discriminating Against Punjab: CM Bhagwant Mann

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann hit out at the BJP-led central government over the non-inclusion of the state’s tableau for the Republic Day parade. He alleged that the Center has discriminated against the states ruled by the AAP.

Mann said that like last year, this year too, Punjab’s tableau for January 26 will not be included. “The Center is discriminating against Punjab,” he added. He also said that both Punjab and Delhi are not on the list.

He was addressing a press conference at Punjab Bhawan in Chandigarh after visiting Fatehgarh Sahib. Mann said they received a letter from the Center on Wednesday, which shows that Punjab’s tableau has not been included.

The Punjab CM also claimed that the decision of the central government shows how much “poison” it has in its heart against the people of Punjab.
