Amritsar, April 17, 2014 Punjab

Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia today renewed his offensive
against former Chief Minister and Congress candidate for Amritsar Lok
Sabha Seat Captain Amarinder Singh calling him `biggest lair' who
twists history to his convenience.

He took the jibe on Captain's
public disclosure of justifying his aggressive style and how he saved
55 villages including
Kandu Khera from being merged with Haryana.

"Captain is worst student of history.The villages were
saved due to the
sacrifices and fight by the Akali workers and leaders. If you (Captain) is
so aggressive why could not you bring back Chandigarh to Punjab. You are
expert making molehill out of nothing. What about the sacrifices of the
common people and the Akalis to save Punjab what it is today?" he asked
Captain.

Majithia who had been campaigning aggressively for the SAD-BJP candidate
Arun Jaitley in the area said whole world knows and it is recorded in the
history that 55 villages in the Malwa Belt along Haryana-Punjab state
borders were saved due to the Punjabis' long struggle and sacrifices made
by the Akalis, which the villages from going away from Punjab. He said the
Akalis held Morchas including Dharam Yudh Morcha, Kapoori Morcha to save
the interests of Punjab and Captain was spreading lies and twisting history.
While addressing rallies and election meetings at
villages Jijjeani, Hamza,

Athwal, Burj-Nau-Abad and Tarpai, Majithia said be it the status for
Punjabi, Punjab speaking areas or watching the interests of Punjab, Akalis
had been at the forefront. ``The interests of the state were not saved by
making rhetoric as Captain is habitual of doing so, but by the struggle on
the ground. When Maharaja was enjoying the evenings at his Moti Mahal
and Dochi farm house, Akalis were holding fast-unto-deaths and sitting
on the roads in summer and winters to save the interests of Punjab'',
said Majithia.
