AAP poster sparks row in Punjab

CHANDIGARH: A poster showing Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale along with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other Aam Aadmi Party members had surfaced, urging people to celebrate Bhindranwale's birthday. Written in Punjabi, the message on the poster said, “On February 12, the AAP will observe the birth anniversary of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. On this day, all party workers should visit the Gurdwaras and pledge to walk the path shown by Sants.” It also said the poster was issued by the AAP, Punjab, and “Bhindranwale, a lion. We will fulfil your dream.” Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh accused the AAP of “engaging in disruptive and destabilising tactics for short term political gains that could create anarchy.” BJP state president Kamal Sharma said, “If the AAP is not behind these posters and pamphlets, it should file an FIR.”
