BATHINDA/MUKTSAR – Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring demanded convening an all party meeting over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
He also lashed out at the anti-national forces, which were trying to spoil the hard earned peace in Punjab and trying to lure young and innocent people into violence.
In an informal conversation with reporters in Muktsar and Bathinda, Warring referred to a series of crimes and murders, which were taking place in Punjab at an alarming regularity. This, he pointed out, had caused fear and panic among people.
He pointed out, a group of leading industrialists from Ludhiana had met the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath exploring investment opportunities in that state as they were worried over deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab.
“We have been saying that you don’t have any clue how to govern”, he told the government, while suggesting convening of all party meetings to discuss and deliberate on the matter. Otherwise, he warned, the inexperienced and incompetent AAP government will ruin Punjab.
To a question about Punjab being ranked as second best state in law and order after Gujarat in a survey conducted by a news magazine, the PCC president questioned its basis while pointing out repeated and regular incidents of murder and demands for ransom from people.
He also took a dig at the AAP government over owning up this survey when it had rejected the surveys about Punjab’s education model, which was ranked best in the country under the Congress regime.
Earlier the PCC president installed Subhdeep Sing Bittu as the District Congress president Muktsar and later Rajan Garg and Khushbaz Jatana as the urban and rural unit District Congress presidents for Bathinda. He expressed confidence that they will meet the best expectations of the party and the people.
