Chandigarh, April 12
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab has accused Congress leader and singer Sidhu Moose Wala of using derogatory language and disrespecting the people of Punjab through his song ‘Scapegoat’. AAP spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang, during a press conference at the party headquarters on Tuesday, accused Sidhu Moose Wala of insulting Punjabis and sought clarification from Congress national president Sonia Gandhi and Punjab president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Party spokespersons Neel Garg and Vaneet Verma accompanied Malwinder Kang and said that Congress’s state as well as national leadership must clarify their stand immediately.
Malwinder Singh Kang said, “Famous singer and Congress MLA candidate from Mansa in recently concluded Punjab Assembly elections, Sidhu Moose Wala has addressed 3 crore Punjabis in his latest song and referred them as ‘gaddar’ which presents Congress’s anti-Punjab mentality, attitude and history. Sidhu not only defamed Punjabis who are warriors, but also used foul language against them.” He added that Punjab had utterly rejected Congress and its leaders during Punjab assembly elections. Embarrassed by the defeat and unable to digest it, Sidhu Moose Wala, through his song, has once again showed Congress’s attitude towards Punjab.
Kang said that Congress has always had anti-Punjab, anti-Punjabiyat and anti-Punjabi policies. In the history of the Congress, it is evident from Sikh genocide and seizure of Punjabi speaking areas and Punjab’s capital. AAP leader Neel Garg demanded that Congress High Command and PPCC President Raja Warring should clarify their stand regarding Sidhu Moose Wala’s song that whether Congress agrees with Moose Wala’s remarks or not. If the Congress does not agree with then Sidhu should be expelled from the party immediately and the Congress High Command must apologize to all Punjabis.
