To support his contentions, Capt. Amarinder Singh said: “They had prevailed upon the government to prevent my entry into Canada, where I wanted to go to meet my Punjabi brethren and not to campaign for elections,” he was quoted as saying in a release issued by his team after the programme.
Amarinder, whose poll campaign in Canada was stalled last year in the run-up to the Punjab assembly elections, as Canadian rules does not allow any alien leader to conduct their poll campaigns on Canadian soil.
