Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu said here on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would visit Punjab on July 17 for the inauguration of revamped railway stations, including the Rs 100-crore Jalandhar Cantt railway station.He said films such as “Satluj” must not be allowed to stoke divisions in the state and people should see what its makers were trying to do.Bittu said as long as people like him were around, Diljit Dosanjh, singer and lead actor of “Satuj”, would not be allowed to “sully the atmosphere” of the state.“Diljit’s money is involved in the film; that is why this propaganda is being carried out,” he said, adding that the Centre had no role in getting the film banned.Bittu lauded former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for “standing his ground” and said it was amusing to see Congress leaders fight among themselves.He said, “We’re pleased to see what Channi saheb is doing. The Congress is doing exactly what was expected of it. It won’t be able to do anything for the state. None of its leaders and MLAs want to stand with Warring today…”Responding to rumours of Channi joining another party, Bittu said, “Channi will stay in the Congress, but the tussle in the party will continue.”
