The former chief minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said he was not against the people of Pakistan but their rulers and the Army who were fomenting trouble here and killing Indian soldiers on the borders.
Before independence, about 40 per cent of the population of Patiala was Muslim and most of them migrated to Pakistan, Singh said as he recalled how he was honoured and felicitated in the neighbouring country during his visit there in 2004 as the Punjab chief minister.
Addressing public meetings in support of party candidates Farzana Alam from Malerkotla and Sardar Ali from Amargarh here, Singh said, these elections were going to decide the future of Punjab as the state was confronted by multiple challenges which could be faced by a ”double engine” government only.
