BJP Criticizes Punjabs Law and Order Amid Rahul Gandhis Upcoming Rally
BJP spokesperson R.P. Singh criticizes Punjabs law and order and questions Rahul Gandhis rally timing linked to 1984 riots.
New Delhi, October 24 (Daily Kiran) : R.P. Singh, spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has raised serious concerns about the law and order situation in Punjab. He criticized Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for allegedly prioritizing personal celebrations over pressing state issues. Singh pointed out that Mann has been celebrating his birthday in France while the state grapples with rising gang activity and drug trafficking, reportedly protected by members of the Aam Aadmi Party.
Singh held Mann accountable for maintaining order in the state, given his responsibility for the Home Department. He accused the chief minister of failing to address the growing influence of criminals in Punjab.
Turning to statements made by Farooq Abdullah regarding Pakistan, Singh urged him to focus on the situation in Kashmir. He asserted that conditions in Jammu and Kashmir have improved since the abrogation of Article 370, which has led to a surge in tourism and economic growth in the region. Singh also called for Abdullah to consider the circumstances in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Singh expressed skepticism over a recent controversial slogan raised at Jamia Millia Islamia, questioning Congress leader Imran Masood’s stance. He demanded clarity on whether Masood supports those seeking to separate Kashmir from India, criticizing Congress for appearing to align with divisive elements.
As discussions continue regarding a potential alliance between Congress and the Samajwadi Party for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Singh mocked Congress’s reported demand for 175 to 200 seats. He referenced previous elections where Congress’s seat requests dwindled from ten to two, suggesting a similar outcome might unfold this time.
Singh also questioned the timing of Rahul Gandhi’s rally planned for November 1 at Ramleela Maidan, linking it to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He accused Congress of insensitivity towards the victims and their families, highlighting that the violence during that period remains a painful memory for the Sikh community. He referenced a controversial remark by Sam Pitroda, suggesting that the party has overlooked the sentiments of those affected by the violence.
Singh concluded that holding the rally on this date could reopen old wounds for the community, implying that Congress deliberately chose this timing to provoke.
