Chandigarh-BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh strongly attacked the AAP-led Punjab government for pushing the state back into the dark days of terrorism through its dangerous collusion with the Congress party.
In a scathing statement, Chugh said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has completely failed to uphold national interests and is deliberately fostering an atmosphere of terror in Punjab. He accused both AAP and Congress of working hand in glove to destabilize peace and security in the state.
Chugh added that the Mann government is now trying to stifle voices of dissent, a dangerous signal in a state already crippled by lawlessness. “People in Punjab are living in fear. The sense of insecurity is growing with each passing day under this failed regime,” he said.
He further stated that instead of taking accountability for nearly two dozen grenade blasts, the Mann government is shamefully attempting to divert attention by blaming the opposition.
“First, police stations were attacked. Then Hindu religious sites were targeted. And now, even political leaders are being threatened by anti-national forces. What more evidence is needed to prove the collapse of law and order in Punjab?” Chugh asked.
Taking direct aim at the Mann government, Chugh said, “Why are anti-national elements having a free run in Punjab? Is this silence and inaction a sign of complicity or incompetence? It appears the AAP government is in league with disruptive forces to push Punjab back into the shadows of its dark past.”
