Amarinder, who hails from the first Sikh battalion, described the condition of Nand Singh’s memorial as “yet another glaring instance of how little the (ruling) Badals care for our soldiers and their memories.”
The soldier also finds mention in Amarinder’s book ‘Lest We Forget’.
“Unfortunately, the Badal government has never shown much respect for our army or its personnel,” he said, referring to the prolonged stir of the war widows in Punjab.
“The war widows have been trying unsuccessfully to draw the government’s attention to their plight,” said Amarinder Singh, while reiterating his commitment to addressing the concerns of the widows and families of the martyred soldiers.
Amarinder reached Bathinda, considered a Badal stronghold, on Tuesday at the culmination of the second day of his Kisan Yatra roadshow.
