Targeting the state government for trying to run away from facing people of Punjab, the BJP President Sunil Jakhar has stated that the massive Police clampdown in Ludhiana shows CM’s fear in face of impending questioning during November 1 debate.
“This unprecedented police presence in Ludhiana belies the congenial environment which should have been created for a critical debate over grave issues being faced by Punjab,” Jakhar said here during a press conference.
Blaming the state government for its failure to utilise the opportunity to discuss, debate and evolve a consensus over issues of the day, the veteran leader said that it is a pre-planned strategy to instigate the people and then shift the blame from the government’s shoulders.
The State Government has divided people by its unwarranted response on this issue and it is clear the state Administration is feeling entangled after inviting people for a debate through an Open Invitation, Jakhar said.
Reminding the state government of perilous law and order situation, Jakhar said there are daily murders and there is no police presence. Innocent people are being murdered in broad day and light, Jakhar said pointing towards a spate of murders including that of Bathinda Mall Road Association head outside his shop.
