Chandigarh, July 4: Hoarding and posters have been put in various parts of Punjab, demanding independence by 2020. The Capt Amarinder Singh government is yet to take any action against such separatists. Nipped in the bud three decades ago, the Khalistani groups continue to threaten the hard earned peace in the frontier state of Punjab.
Controversial hoardings demanding independence and referendum have created a stir. The hoardings with slogans like “Azadi Di Gal, Punjab Independence, 2020 Referendum” were installed at various places including Fatehgarh, Roopnagar, Dhanaula in Barnala and Rajpura in Patiala.
The administration has neither removed the controversial hoardings nor have taken any action against the people behind the controversy.
Reacting to the controversy, Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has slammed the state government for having failed to remove the hoardings and maintaining a stoic silence over the efforts being made by the Khalistani groups to revive terrorism.
