Punjabis against capital punishment: Wadala


Jalandhar, March 29
Veteran SAD leader and SGPC member Kuldip Singh Wadala today said that the overwhelming response to the Punjab bandh call yesterday showed that all communities were against capital punishment.
“It is for the first time that irrespective of their religious or social affiliations, people belonging to all communities have come forward to oppose capital punishment. The success of the bandh clearly indicates that the Punjabis are united on the issue of capital punishment,” Wadala said while addressing mediapersons here today. He said he was thankful to the Akal Takht Jathedar, the CM, the Deputy CM, the PPCC chief and Beant Singh’s kin for opposing the hanging of Balwant Singh Rajoana. “Even the BJP did not oppose it. I am specially thankful to the Home Minister,” Wadala added.
