Protest over attack on BJP leader Kalia’s house

District BJP leaders and workers held a protest against the grenade attack on BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia here on Tuesday. Burning effigies of the Bhagwant Mann-led government outside the Hall Gate, district BJP president Harvinder Sandhu said the grenade attack on the residence of former BJP minister, former state president and national executive member Manoranjan Kalia is a matter of grave concern. They said the law and order situation in the state has deteriorated. Ever since the Aam Aadmi Party came to power in the state, the law and order situation in Punjab has gone from bad to worse. Grenade attacks are happening on police headquarters, police stations, temples, houses of eminent people in Punjab every day and the accused are still out of the reach of the police. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should accept his failure and immediately resign from his post on moral grounds,” said Sandhu, while attacking the Mann government.

Sandhu said the Bhagwant Mann government has turned Punjab into Afghanistan instead of making it Rangla Punjab. “The grenade attack on Manoranjan Kalia’s house speaks volume about the deteriorated law and order situation in Punjab. If a grenade attack can be carried out at the house of a two-time Punjab minister, the common man is totally unsafe in Punjab.” He also mentioned the murder of Shiv Sena leader Sudhir Suri, international kabaddi player and other kabaddi players, incidents of open firing under the nose of the police in kabaddi matches, etc, while citing a law and order problem in Punjab.
