Chandigarh:BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today took strong exception to the manner in which a sense of terror is being spread among school children in Punjab by forces that the AAP government has failed to control.
Demanding an investigation by the NIA, Chugh said it appeared to be a deliberate and calculated design by subversive forces to intimidate children and their parents, reflecting the complete collapse of the law and order machinery in the border state. He questioned whether the Bhagwant Mann government was playing into the hands of the ISI or had simply failed to control disruptive forces.
Chugh said the entire Punjab already knows that gangsters and mafias are enjoying a free run, spreading an atmosphere of terror and panic across the state. Everyone is aware of how bullets are fired almost daily and how extortion calls are made to paralyse every section of society
“But it is extremely alarming that school-going children are now being subjected to terrorism and panic at a time when the Bhagwant Mann government continues to make deceptive claims about improving standards of school education,” Chugh said.
Calling it an inhuman and criminal failure on the part of the Bhagwant Mann government, Chugh said the matter needs a thorough investigation.
