Punjab Congress on Wednesday demanded President’s Rule in the State saying there was “lawlessness” in the SAD-BJP ruled State.
“There is no law and order prevailing in Punjab...need of the hour is to impose the President Rule. Punjab police are supporting the criminals to beat up the innocent people,” state PCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa said.
The situation of Punjab has become grim as police were working at the behest of the State Government, he alleged. Bajwa demanded a judicial probe into the “murderous assault” on Amritsar lawyer Vineet Mahajan and framing of his friend Sandeep Gorsi in attempt to murder case. Both of whom had lodged a complaint of “dual vote” against local Bodies Minister Anil Joshi and several members of his family, he said.
He demanded the immediate dismissal of Joshi from the state Cabinet, saying it was appalling that such a person continued to be member of the Parkash Singh Badal-led Cabinet.
