Chandigarh, January 2
Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh complained on Saturday that the governor summoned the state DGP and chief secretary for a report on law and order instead of summoning him. He said the BJP’s accusation that law and order in Punjab had “collapsed” was an attempt to divert public attention from controversial farm laws and farmer agitation.
The CM said that if the governor had any concerns about the law and order situation, he should have raised the matter with him since he had Home’s portfolio. Captain Amarinder criticized the BJP state leaders for their “irresponsible” statements, claiming there was a vicious game plan to undermine the peaceful protest of farmers by calling some incidents of damage to some telecommunications towers a public order problem. .
Stop the slander, tell the BJP state
Rather than defame farmers by calling them ‘Naxalites and Khalistanis’, the BJP should pressure the central leadership to repeal the black laws. —Punjab CM
“These damaged towers can be repaired and are being repaired. But what about the lives of the farmers protesting on Delhi’s borders in the cold? He asked, expressing shock that no BJP leader had expressed regret over the deaths of the farmers during the uproar. Rather than smear farmers by calling them “Naxalites and Khalistanis,” the Punjab BJP should pressure its central leadership to repeal the farm laws, the CM said, noting that it took the governor only a day to respond to the BJP’s complaint. state. “While the amendment bills passed by the Punjab House have not yet been sent to the president for approval.”
On the Punjab BJP alleging an assault on democracy, the Captain commented: “A party that has practically destroyed all the democratic institutions in the country does not have to call anyone undemocratic.” – TNS
