Former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh cautioned the AAP Government against any laxity and inaction in the Shiv Sena (Taksali) leader murder case
Former chief minister Amarinder Singh on November 5 warned against the return of the dark era of the 1980s in Punjab, saying "the way things are unfolding in the State today is quite worrisome" and cautioned the AAP Government against any "laxity".
He also condemned the "complete failure" on the part of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government in the State, claiming that it has not taken any action so far even after 24 hours after the murder of the Shiv Sena (Taksali) leader Sudhir Suri in Amritsar on Friday.
Suri (58) was shot dead in broad daylight while taking part in a protest.
He was protesting against the management of Gopal Mandir on Majitha Road — one of the busiest places in the city — after some broken idols of Hindu deities were allegedly found on the roadside, which he termed an act of sacrilege.
BJP leader Mr. Singh said he was more concerned because the AAP Government had "neither shown any inclination nor any capability" to handle such an alarming situation.
"Once you let your weakness and shortcomings known, anti-national forces are bound to take advantage of that and that is what is precisely happening in Punjab now", he said.
"I am reminded of 1980s when the situation started drifting and deteriorating into terrorism and we had to pay such a huge price", Mr. Singh warned, while cautioning the AAP Government against any laxity and inaction.
