Charanjit Channi clarifies 'bhaiyas of UP, Bihar, Delhi' remark, Priyanka Gandhi says comment 'misconstrued'

Firstpost  

The Punjab chief minister, in a video on Twitter, said that his statement was bent out of meaning and that it was directed at a few people who were allegedly causing ‘disruption’ in the state Just days ahead of the state elections, the Congress went into damage control mode over Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s ‘ don’t let bhaiyas of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi enter the state ’ remarks. Trying to assuage hurt sentiments, the Punjab chief minister said people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have contributed to the building of Punjab. I do not think anyone from Uttar Pradesh is interested in coming to Punjab and rule.” Further responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of Channi’s comment, she said, “BJP has insulted Uttar Pradesh farmers. India is the only country that has not considered not only the people living within its borders as its family, but also the people across the world.” Biju Janta Dal Rajya Sabha MP Prasanna Acharya on Thursday said, “I do not think that statement given by Punjab chief minister fits the Indian tradition and the provision of the Constitution.” Meanwhile, a complaint was lodged in a court on the day against the Punjab chief minister for his comments.
