Expressing concerns over the growing graph of heinous crimes in Punjab, Aam Aadmi Party on Monday said that law and order situation in the State has stooped new low which could be evident from the loot of foreign tourists in the holy of city of Amritsar.
“Such incident of loot of foreign tourists has brought bad name for Punjab and Akali Government has proved big failure to tackle the increased number of crimes,” said party’s state convener Gurpreet Singh Waraich (Ghuggi), adding that Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, who holds home portfolio too, has no right to continue on his post.
He said that earlier Badals were looting the state and now they have let loose their goons too to loot the people, which can be gauged from the fraud of `400 crore by son of an Akali leader, who was not even detained by the Punjab Police.
Even a minor girl was kidnapped and killed in Banga and some days back, an Akali leader was caught for kidnapping and demanding ransom, he pointed.
Ghuggi said that there was “complete politicisation of the police by Akalis as cops do not act tough against criminals due to political pressure…Even the Director General of Police (DGP) Suresh Arora himself admitted operation of as many as 52 gangs in Punjab”.
He said that the days of Akali Government is numbered in the state and once voted to power, AAP would bring back the enforcement of law of land in the State on priority, AAP Convener said.
