The BJP may hate Punjab and Sikhs as much as it wants, but Punjab will never let anyone loot its rights. Chandigarh was, is, and will remain Punjab\u2019s capital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kang reminded the Centre that the arrangement of Chandigarh being a temporary Union Territory was only until Haryana built its own capital. \u201cAcross India, every state\u2019s capital remains with the parent state. In this case, the parent state is Punjab. Chandigarh must be fully restored to Punjab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Announcing AAP\u2019s next steps, Kang said, \u201cWe will oppose this dictatorial move in Parliament and on the streets. A massive struggle is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to all Punjabis to unite beyond politics, religion, and caste. \u201cIf the BJP captures Chandigarh today, tomorrow Punjab\u2019s culture, heritage, and identity will be under attack. We must stand together and fight to protect our land and honour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAP Warns Centre: Chandigarh Is Punjab\u2019s Capital, Not BJP\u2019s Property Punjab News: AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang strongly condemned the BJP-led central government for what he described as a \u201cdirect assault on Punjab\u2019s rights, history, and dignity.\u201d Reacting to the recent report, published in an English daily newspaper, suggesting that the Union Government intends to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":55827,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
