Amid ongoing ED raids on Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora’s premises in Chandigarh, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal likened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and said Punjab will fight his “atrocities.”“Punjab is the land of the Gurus. Several hundred years ago, Aurangzeb seized control of many parts of the country through crime and oppression. Modi ji too has deceitfully seized control of many parts of the country. After that, Aurangzeb arrived in Punjab. Modi ji has now arrived in Punjab as well. Aurangzeb perpetrated great atrocities on the Gurus. Modi ji is also perpetrating atrocities on Punjabis. But the Gurus confronted Aurangzeb through sacrifice and saved the people.“Today, drawing inspiration from the Gurus’ sacrifice, Punjab will confront Modi ji’s atrocities and save the entire country from his oppression,” Kejriwal said in an X post.Kejriwal said that a few years ago Modi had challenged Punjab’s farmers and “had to bow before them,” adding that “today, Modi ji has challenged the entire Punjab,” in remarks referring to the raids.He further said that after the Bengal elections, the Prime Minister had started conducting “daily ED raids” in Punjab.“In the past few years, Modi has dealt Punjab a heavy blow. Punjabis have been harassed in every possible way. Attacks were launched on Punjab’s water, attempts were made to take over Punjab University, funds for rural development were withheld, and now relentless ED raids have been unleashed,” the AAP chief said.He also referred to earlier ED actions against political and business figures, alleging political motives behind the raids.He said a raid was carried out at Ashok Mittal’s premises, and the next day he was brought into the BJP.“The purpose of the ED raid wasn’t to uncover stolen money. It was solely to break Ashok Mittal and get him to join the BJP. Just a few days ago, a raid was also conducted at Sanjeev Arora’s place. When he didn’t join the BJP, another raid was carried out at his premises,” Kejriwal said.
