Chandigarh-In view of the Iran–Israel–US crisis, the Bharatiya Janata Party has released a helpline number for Punjabis stranded in the Gulf countries. Party president Sunil Jakhar shared this information while speaking to the media today, ahead of a meeting of the party’s core committee to review preparations for the Punjab rally of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Providing further details, Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar said that Punjabis stranded in the Gulf countries due to the deteriorating situation, or their family members based here, can contact the helpline number 75085-60065. With the support of the Central Government, the party will make every possible effort to provide all kinds of assistance to such people or to bring them back safely.
He said that the Central Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has already instructed Indian embassies in these countries to extend every possible help to Indians living there and to ensure they are provided with all necessary information, updates, and security. The government will take all appropriate steps in this regard.
On the other hand, speaking about the Congress, Sunil Jakhar said that Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party are in an invisible alliance, and Congress is functioning like AAP’s B-team. Today, the people of the state are extremely distressed by the policies of the AAP government; the law-and-order situation in the state is at its worst, drug abuse is spreading like a weed, yet Congress leaders do not even have the courage to speak out against Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
He further said that even Rahul Gandhi, who attended the Barnala rally, did not utter a single word against the AAP government, whereas as the principal opposition party, it was Congress’s moral duty to raise public issues.
Similarly, commenting on Rahul Gandhi publicly humiliating the Punjab leadership, he said that if Rahul had to hold a rally to say something that could have been discussed behind closed doors, it proves that Rahul Gandhi has now lost his influence over the party. Those Congress leaders who project themselves as chief ministerial contenders will now face the public with what credibility?
Accusing Congress of misleading the people, he said that any agreement entered into by India will have no adverse impact whatsoever on the farmers of Punjab.
