"It is a deep conspiracy to defame Punjab and Punjabiyat. It is an attempt to vitiate the situation in the state. It is an attempt to impose President's Rule in Punjab," Mr Channi had earlier told NDTV
Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi -- engaged in a huge political tussle with the BJP over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security breach -- today hit back with a quote from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a BJP icon. जिसे कर्त्तव्य से ज़्यादा जान की फ़िक्र हो, उसे भारत जैसे देश में बड़ी जिम्मेदारी नहीं लेनी चाहिए !- सरदार वल्लभभाई पटेल pic.twitter.com/zefpEroVAF
"Someone who is concerned more about his life than his duty, should not take a big responsibility in a country like India," tweeted Mr Channi, with a photo of the freedom fighter.
Earlier today, in an interview with NDTV, Mr Channi had responded furiously to BJP's allegations of the state's Congress government endangering PM Modi's life with "murderous intentions".
