• It's you only @capt_amarinder who can suck up to these #Gandhis to come in power but for me it's a commitment with the community to ensure every culprit of Sikh massacre is put behind bars. Mark my words, one day all these BUTCHERS will be at the place they deserve.

Badal claimed the scheme was nothing but the repackaging of the Centre's Ayushman Bharat scheme.

Blaming the Rajiv Gandhi dispensation for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Badal tweeted, "It's you only @capt_amarinder who can suck up to these #Gandhis to come in power but for me, it's a commitment with the community to ensure every the culprit of Sikh massacre is put behind bars."

Badal's remarks came after Amarinder Singh slammed him for spreading "lies" about Rajiv Gandhi over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Slamming Badal for "brazen falsehoods" unleashed on the eve of Gandhi's 75th birth anniversary, Amarinder Singh had described the SAD leader's comments as a "conspiracy to incite and divide" the Sikh community by defaming the former prime minister.
