While political lingo has hit a new low among leaders across the country for the 2019 general elections, the statement of one Punjab politician regarding his opponent appears to be demeaning and comical.
Upping the ante on the Badals, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said they could not escape investigation in the Bargari and Kotkapura firing cases by getting an SIT officer shifted out by the “BJP-controlled” Election Commission.
The executions took place in Riyadh, the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, central Qassim province and Eastern Province, a statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency said.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday sparked a political controversy by referring to his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) counterpart Amit Shah as a "murder accused" during an election rally in Jabalpur.
