PM Modi proved to be a strong and peaceful politician during war: Badal

Chandigarh, May 13 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday congratulated the countrymen, especially the armed forces, for inflicting a crushing defeat on terrorists and their sponsors in Pakistan and lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’ strong approach in dealing with the enemies of peace across the border.
Badal also lauded the Prime Minister for the statesmanlike diplomatic handling of the situation after forcing the Pak army leadership to “run for cover to Washington to beg for a ceasefire“.
“After the decisive victory on the battlefield, the Prime Minister acted as statesman in accepting their request for cessation of hostilities. Peace after victory is the most honourable course to follow,” said the SAD president.
He condemned politicians who were criticising the ceasefire and indulging in war mongering.
“These politicians are those who have never witnessed the damage inflicted by war and watch it on their television screens in their drawing rooms. These persons are the real enemies of the nation," he said.
Asserting that Punjab would have borne the brunt of war in case it had continued for a longer period, Badal said “a large amount of our population lives in the border areas. Highly populous cities are also situated close to the border. In case of a full blown war we would have witnessed unprecedented destruction of both life and property. This, however, has been thankfully averted by putting a swift end to hostilities following Operation Sindoor”.
Badal said the Sikh community had stood like a rock with the country during the crisis. “We have again proved that when the nation is threatened by external aggression the Sikh’s are its first line of defence”.
He said Pakistan had tried its best to sow the seeds of hatred in the hearts and minds of Sikh’s by claiming India was targeting Nankana Sahib but the community had rejected such falsities resolutely. He said the community also did not want war and was thankful to the central government for acting in theirs and the nation’s best interests.
He also appealed to the Prime minister to address the sentiments of the Sikh community which wanted a just solution to the continued incarceration of Bandi Singhs including Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana. He said efforts should also be made to address all pending issues of the Sikh community and Punjab. UNI GS SSP
