Chandigarh, Apr 08 (UNI) Punjab Minister Mohinder Bhagat on Tuesday alleged that Lawrence Bishnoi was behind the blast outside the BJP leader's house.
Speaking to media, he said Bishnoi, who has been lodged in Sabarmati jail of Gujarat,
was trying to disturb peace of Punjab at the behest of Pakistan.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader alleged that Lawrence' links with Pakistan was an open secret.
He said Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's stand was clear and the state government
won't allow anyone to disturb peace and strict action will be taken against the culprits.
Former Rajya Sabha MP and BJP National Vice President Avinash Rai Khanna has strongly condemned the attack and accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of "allowing" criminal elements to flourish unchecked across the state.
Khanna described the incident as a glaring reflection of the current government's "failure" to maintain public safety.
“This attack is a chilling reminder that even elected representatives are not safe in Punjab today. If public officials are being targeted in such a brazen manner, one can only imagine
the plight and insecurity of ordinary citizens,” Khanna stated.
