Congress MP Aujla condemns Amritsar blast, says Punjab officials are busy 'hosting Delhi'

Amritsar, May 27 (UNI) Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla strongly condemned the blast in Amritsar today in which a man was killed and said the Punjab government is fully responsible for the deteriorating law and order in the state.
He accused he Punjab government officials of being "busy hosting the people of Delhi" - in reference to Arvind Kejriwal - and are "unable to ensure the safety of the people".
Aujla said that Amritsar has been in shock for three days. First the murder of the councilor, then the murder of the note changer and today the grenade blast. He said that the police catch the accused later but why can't they catch them earlier.
"Where are the counter intelligence and intelligence agencies of Punjab which have already failed to stop crime?," he asked.
He said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should suspend the responsible officials otherwise he should take responsibility for this deteriorating system himself.
Aujla said that the government is using the Punjab system for its own benefit. The Punjab government is focusing only on elections instead of paying attention to the safety of the people. Even if today's blast had not happened there, and was meant for somewhere else, it is not known what its target was and what damage it would have done, but the government is not worried about it at all.
MP Aujla said that Amritsar is a border area. Blasts have happened here before and now again the blast has a direct impact on the arrival of tourists.
He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to pay attention to Punjab "because the situation in Punjab is continuously deteriorating".
He also appealed to the AAP ministers in Delhi to "stop using" Punjab's machinery so that Punjab's agencies can work for the safety of the people here.
Notably, in the morning on Tuesday, a man was killed in a blast while retrieving explosive material from a vacant area on the Majitha road bypass in Punjab's Amritsar, police said.
The explosion took place around 9:30 a.m.
Deputy Inspector General (Border Range) Satinder Singh said the man is suspected to have links with some Khalistani organisation.
