Advani silent on Chautala’s request Bhondsi (Gurgaon), June 4 Mr Chautala raised the “uncooperative” attitude of the Punjab Government before the Union Home Minister, Mr L.K. Advani yesterday. Mr Advani was here to lay the foundation stone of Devi Lal centre for police training and research. He was also the chief guest at the passing out parade of recruits of 57th Battalion of the Haryana police. Speaking at a public function, he urged Mr Advani to sanction five more Indian Reserved Battalion for Haryana. He made out a case that the battalion could be used not only for Haryana but also for any part of the country. For the record, the Centre has already sanctioned a battalion for Haryana with its headquarters at Gurgaon. The state government recruits personnel and the salary and emoluments to them are provided by the Centre. Expressing reservations against the Punjab Government, Mr Chautala said everyone should be guided by the spirit of nationalism and act in the interest of the country. Mr Advani, however, did not refer to the Gujarat or Punjab issue. He skirted the demand made for more battalions in his speech. |
