New Delhi: Terming it the “single biggest lapse in the security of any Indian Prime Minister in recent years”, BJP leaders accused the Punjab police of “conniving” with so-called protesters.
They said that only the Punjab Police knew the PM’s precise route,The home ministry has sought a detailed report from the Punjab government, which has been asked to fix responsibility and take action.
BJP chief JP Nadda hit out at Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi in a series of tweets and accused him of refusing to take phone calls.
“It is sad that the PM’s visit to launch development projects worth thousands of crores for Punjab was disrupted. But we will not let such cheap mentality hinder progress of Punjab and will continue the effort for the development of Punjab,” he said adding that The state police was instructed to prevent people from attending the rally. Large number of buses were stranded because of the high-handedness of the police & connivance with protestors.
Lashing out at Punjab CM, Nadda said,” To make matters worse, CM Channi refused to get on the phone to either address the matter or solve it. The tactics used by the Congress government in Punjab would pain any one who believes in democratic principles.”
