If people with Z+ security are unsafe, imagine condition of common people: PPCC chief
CHANDIGARH: Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee and the Member of Parliament interacted with the media and released a statement regarding the firing on Sukhbir Singh Badal at Sri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar.
The PPCC Chief expressed deep concern and unequivocally condemned the incident, calling it an alarming failure of governance that highlights the dire state of safety in Punjab. He claimed that the brazen attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal near the sacred precincts of Sri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, is a shocking testament to the complete collapse of law and order in Punjab under the Aam Aadmi Party's administration.
“This horrifying attack near such a revered site exposes the utter negligence of Bhagwant Mann’s government. The police, under AAP’s rule, have turned a blind eye to their primary duty of maintaining law and order, allowing Punjab to slip into chaos. If even a Z+ category protectee like Sukhbir Badal is unsafe, how can the common citizens feel secure?” said Warring, slamming the administration for its incompetence.
He further pointed out the alarming lapse in vigilance, questioning the authorities' claims of being aware and prepared. “The ACP’s assertion of vigilance is laughable when such incidents unfold in broad daylight. What kind of vigilance permits this? The government’s inaction and misplaced priorities have emboldened lawlessness to this extent. This is a wake-up call for CM Bhagwant Mann led AAP government, which seems to be more focused on rhetoric than real governance, ” he added.
Warring called for immediate and strict accountability, demanding the suspension of the responsible ACP and swift action against all those involved in the incident. “The people of Punjab cannot tolerate such negligence any longer. This government has failed repeatedly to ensure safety. The culprits must face the harshest punishment, and the police force must be held accountable for its glaring lapses. Enough is enough!”
He also urged for a deeper introspection into the deteriorating situation in Punjab, calling on political leaders, social organizations, and the public to join hands in fostering peace and harmony. “Punjab, with its rich heritage of mutual respect and tranquility, deserves better than this shameful state of governance. This incident must compel all stakeholders to act responsibly and collaboratively to restore faith in our systems.”
Amarinder Singh Raja Warring concluded with a stark warning to the AAP government: “Bhagwant Mann ji, how many more lapses will it take for your administration to wake up? The people of Punjab demand action, not excuses. The law and order situation has gone from bad to worse under your watch, and your failure to act decisively is putting lives at risk. This negligence will not be forgiven.”
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the urgent need for strong and responsible leadership in Punjab—something Warring affirmed the Congress party is committed to providing.
