Congress leader Manish Tewari talking to media in Ludhiana said "There is no doubt that Pakistan has been trying to destabilize Punjab since 1975 by sending arms & drugs but saying that security agencies are involved in it is a very serious allegation. Kejriwal Ji should show proof if he has any."
Talking about Ashwani Kumar's decision of quitting the Congress he said, "Ashwani Kumar's decision to quit the Congress party is very unfortunate... The ambition for a Rajya Sabha seat makes people do many things."
Commenting on the politics over Turban in Punjab he said, "Turban is the pride of Punjab and there should be no politics over wearing it."
