Punjab's Channi govt weak, unstable: Arvind Kejriwal

Amritsar/Gurdaspur, Dec 24

AAP national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal today said the Ludhiana bomb blast and the recent ‘sacrilege’ attempts at the Golden Temple and Kapurthala could be executed as the Charanjit Singh Channi-led state government was weak and unstable.

Lashing out at the government, he said, “If the conspirators and masterminds of the 2015 sacrilege incident were brought to book, no one would have dared to do the same at one of the holiest places. Similarly, exemplary action in the Maur bomb blast would have averted incidents like the bomb blast in Ludhiana.”

Taking a dig at CM Channi and PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on the Majithia issue, he said, “They’ve filed one FIR against one person in the last five years. But they are glorifying it like they have destroyed the whole drug network in Punjab. It is just an election stunt.” In Gurdaspur, Kejriwal said he would take out mediocrity that at present was deeply embedded in the Punjab Police and instead bring in meritocracy. He addressed a gathering in favour of Raman Bahl, the party candidate from the Gurdaspur seat. — TNS
