Party's ex-president H S Dhami said the nomenclature of holy city status for Amritsar was first sought in 1980's, which was not only rejected by the then government but also opposed by Hindu chauvinist groups, including the BJP by "giving it a communal colour".
If present day politicians, including Kejriwal, think they could win over the hearts of the Sikhs with such "poll gimmicks", then they are highly mistaken, he said.
