CHANDIGARH: Bharatiya Janata Party’s State President Sunil Jakhar has said that fear of the government has disappeared among criminals, and the Chief Minister—who is scared of his leaders in Delhi—is himself unable to take any decisions. As a result, under this inexperienced government, the law-and-order situation in the state is continuously deteriorating.
Sharing a message on his X handle, the BJP President wrote:
“First, there were threats to blow up police stations, and the walls of the police stations were raised. Now, similar threat mails have been received by schools in Amritsar, leading to their closure. Even during Punjab’s darkest period, such things were unheard of. In which direction is AAP’s inexperienced government taking Punjab? The fear of the government has completely vanished among criminals, and the Chief Minister, out of fear of those in Delhi, cannot take any decision on his own.”
Sunil Jakhar said that earlier, similar threats were also issued to the Darbar Sahib. He said that apart from gangsterism, separatist forces are also continuously re-emerging in the state.
He said Punjab is a border state, and a capable government is essential here, but the Aam Aadmi Party government has completely failed in fulfilling its responsibilities. Hardly a day passes without the news of a serious crime in the state.
He added that the Chief Minister must run the government with courage and a sense of accountability toward the people of Punjab. The Delhi leaders—under whose pressure the Chief Minister is operating, and who have already been rejected by the people there—have no concern for this state except exploiting Punjab.
