After a remark of Channi of 'won't let Bhaiyas from UP enter Punjab' became so controversial, clarifying this Channi on Thursday said “My statements were distorted. I want to say it again, that Durgesh Pathak, Sanjay Singh and Kejriwal come from outside and create obstructions. I have talked about them,”
"My statement is being misconstrued. All migrant workers who came to Punjab till date,have toiled & taken it on path to development. We've only love for them, nobody can change it" he added.
UP CM also slammed Channi on his statements and said "government will realize the contribution of the laborers from UP if they stop going to other states for work."
