"As a Punjabi I must say that Miss Kangana Ranaut consistent rant, useless, baseless and illogical statements against the Sikh community," Shergill said.
"There should not be any doubt that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bond with Punjab with the farmer of Punjab with Punjabiyat is an unbreakable bond, unshakable bond," he added.

As a Punjabi, must say that Ms Kangana Ranaut’s consistent, baseless, illogical rant against the Farmers of Punjab & Sikh Community has a damaging impact on all the good work done/being done by PM @narendramodi Ji for the welfare of Punjab, Punjabi & Punjabiyat.
