Tenders unconditional apology, if anyone felt hurt
Punjab E News: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today clarified that late Sardar Buta Singh, a former union Home Minister and a veteran Congress leader, was like a father figure to him and he can never mean any disrespect to him or to anyone else.
Reacting to reports that the Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission had taken ‘suo moto’ notice of one of his speeches during Tarn Taran by-election campaign, and issued summons to him, Warring said, “while I reaffirm and reiterate that I meant no disrespect to late Sardar Buta Singh Ji, if anyone has felt hurt, I tender my unconditional apology”.
Warring noted that whatever he mentioned about late Buta Singh Ji was in a positive context of the Congress party being an inclusive party, which provides chance to everyone, based on merit and efficiency and does not discriminate against anyone in the name of caste, creed or religion.
“While I hold him in highest esteem as a great leader and fatherly figure to me, I reiterate and reaffirm my unconditional apology if anyone has felt hurt”, Warring reiterated.
