CHANDIGARH-Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today condemned the bomb blasts in Jalandhar and Amritsar, warning against threat to hard earned peace in the state.
He also criticized the Aam Aadmi Party government for its complete failure to maintain law and order, while pointing out how the frequent bomb blasts have become a routine under its regime.
The PCC president warned against taking such a serious threat to the peace to the state in a casual manner. “At stake is the hard earned peace in Punjab which has come at a huge cost”, he remarked, while telling the government, “don’t squander it away”.
Referring to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s “revelations” that these bomb blasts were orchestrated by the Bharatiya Janata Party, Warring asked, if he (the CM) knows who is behind these blasts, why is he not taking any action. “Why are you trying to make Punjab the playfield for your dirty games?” he asked Mann and the union Home Minister Amit Shah. He questioned the silence of the union Home Minister on such an important issue concerning national security.
The PCC president said that given the serious allegations made by the Chief Minister against the BJP, the party leadership and the central government owe an answer and explanation since these have come from the head of the government of a state.
“Whosoever is orchestrating and doing it, is the enemy of Punjab and people of Punjab will never forgive it”, he warned, and added, once the Congress government is formed after next elections, everything will be probed and whosoever is responsible will be brought to the book.
