Former Union Minister and MP, Ambika Soni along with Punjab Youth Congress (PYC) President Vikram jit Singh Chaudhary on Saturday met the family members of Youth Congress leader Sukhraj Singh at Bhaghupur.
Sukhraj Singh, Youth Congress block president was shot dead on May 8 at Gurudwara Baba Veer Singh Bhagupar in Patti village of Tarn Taran district.
Ambika Soni was asked by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to visit Sukhraj Singh's family, said Vikram jit Singh Chaudhary. Soni assured full support on behalf of the party to the family of the deceased YC leader. “It is very unfortunate that today one is not even secure inside a Gurudwara. law and order situation in Punjab has collapsed and the ruling SAD-BJP alliance is responsible," said Chaudhary.
He said that the role of the local Police is callous and they are taking the case very lightly. So far only two of the five culprits have been arrested. PYC along with local congress leaders will stage a protest at SSP office Tarn Taran on May 13 for failure to arrest the remaining culprits.
