Punjab: 'Khalistan can avert nuclear war in South Asia,' says Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann

Delhi: Simranjit Singh Mann, Sangrur MP and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader on Thursday stroked controversy with his pro-Khalistani remarks. The SAD leader was spotted saying that Khalistan can avert a nuclear war in South Asia.Slamming the Central government, Mann said, "First, they (BJP-led Central goverment) should answer whether they can keep India intact or not. If they will approve Khalistan then it'll become a buffer state for nuclear-enabled India, Pakistan & China, and due to this move, South Asia will never have nuclear war."Here's the video where the SAD leader is making a pro-Khalistani pitch:He also lashed out at the voters of Haryana, asking them to be ashamed for voting a Punjabi chief minister to power.He said, "You (public) should be ashamed that instead of Hariyanvi a Punjabi has been made CM of Haryana and is ruling upon you. Gangsters are from Haryana and not from Punjab."
