Chandigarh, April 20

BJP state president Shwait Malik on Friday said the Congress had conspired to put Punjab in an explosive situation on the issue of Dalits after the recent incidents at Phagwara.

He said their workers would launch a ‘Congress, Punjab Chhodo’ programme as part of our ‘Punjab Bachao’ programme.

He alleged that the Congress did not allow good education for Dalits which did not let them rise socially and they were used as mere vote banks.

He said their alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal would continue as had been decided by the high command.
