Simranjit Singh Mann put stop on Advani in Punjab

Sangrur, Punjab: President, Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Simranjit Singh Mann claimed that today’s proposed visit of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate LK Advani to Sangrur and other towns of the state for campaigning in favour of SAD-BJP alliance candidates had been cancelled due to his party’s pressure as it had made a strong propaganda against Advani’s recent book, “My Country My Life”, in which he had written that the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had made an attack on Harmandir Sahib in 1984 under their pressure.

Talking to The Tribune today, Mann further said due to the propaganda, made by his party, Advani had to cancel his visit to Punjab as he knew he would have to face a strict opposition from Sikhs.

Mann also said due to the pressure of his party and propaganda against Advani, the SAD candidate had also withdrawn the photograph of Advani from election posters and advertisements to avoid anger of Sikhs in the Lok Sabha elections. He further said, however, the SAD had not withdrawn the photograph of Advani from its advertisements in the newspapers, projecting him as leader of the NDA. He said, thus, this was a contradiction on the part of the SAD.
