EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE
CHANDIGARH, April 12: Local MP Satya Pal Jain has lauded the Vajpayee government for successfully launching the Agni-II missile within one year of the Pokharan Nuclear tests, which has raised the nation in the world.

Addressing a gathering at village Behlana, organised by the village gram panchayat to honour him, Jain said Vajpayee has proved a strong PM and also proved that the present Indian government did not bow to the pressures of any nation as far as the nation's security goes.

Jain later visited Dashmesh Colony, Palsora and Karsan colonies, Mauli Jagran colony and dairy farm residents in village Burail. While Jain announced a grant of Rs 5 lakh from his local area development fund for a construction of a school building in village Behlana, he also announced a grant of Rs 8 lakh for the construction of a community centre in Karsan colony, Sector 52.

Addressing the gatherings Jain criticised the Congress for trying to destabilise the Vajpayee-led coalition government at the Centre, since it was worried about the Vajpayee's growing popularity.
He also assured all support from the Centre in further development of Chandigarh and its surrounding areas
