Amit Shah salutes Punjabis’ valour
Patiala: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday saluted the valour of Punjabis, Sikhs in particular, saying the nation feels safe and secure as they keep a guard.
Addressing a largely attended rally here on Sunday, Shah said, Punjab was a border state and peace and security here was very much important for the security of the country.
He said, only an NDA govt, which will work closely with the central government can ensure peace, harmony and security here.
Shah had a special praise for former CM Capt Amarinder Singh, who was also sitting on the dais, that he always rose above partisan considerations when it came to the issues concerning national security.
He disclosed that when he became the Home Minister in 2019, he felt quite concerned about the security along the Punjab border.
“But once I spoke to Capt Amarinder, I felt relaxed,” he recalled. In a special message to people of Patiala, the Home Minister said, the way the Congress party had treated a senior leader like Capt Amarinder, it (Congress) must not get a single seat from Patiala.
