Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], April 15 (ANI): Former Punjab Chief Minister and MP Charanjit Singh Channi on Tuesday said that the entire Congress party is with Punjab Legislative Assembly Leader of Opposition, Partap Singh Bajwa against whom an FIR has been registered by Punjab Police over claims that 50 bombs have entered the state and 18 of them have already exploded.
“The entire Congress is with Bajwa (Pratap Singh Bajwa) sahab. We will fight this battle together..,” Channi told ANI.
On Sunday, a team of Punjab Police’s Counter Intelligence team reached Bajwa’s residence to inquire about the claim by the Punjab Leader of Opposition about grenades and bombs entering the State. However, the Punjab Police said that Bajwa has not revealed any sources to them.
Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Punjab Police’s Counter Intelligence unit Ravjot Grewal, who visited the residence of the LoP earlier today with her team, said that Bajwa was not able to provide a source regarding his claims that multiple grenades and bombs had entered into Punjab.
“Partap Singh Bajwa had made a statement that grenades have entered in Punjab, this was a very sensitive information. So we had come here to ask about the source. Me and my team arrived here today because of that. This information is related to National Security so it is very important for us to know what is this source and because our Counter Intelligence does not have any information,” the AIG told reporters in Chandigarh.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh lashed out at the Punjab Government over the issue and called Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann “a bundle of insecurity and incompetence” and said that the AAP “leadership is rattled.”
“Instead of taking the warning seriously, the Chief Minister of Punjab accused Mr. Bajwa – who has lost family to terrorism – of links with terrorist groups. A counter-intelligence team was sent to Mr. Bajwa’s residence, and cases have now been registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023,” Jairam Ramesh wrote on X.
“Clearly, the Punjab Chief Minister – a bundle of insecurity and incompetence- and the corrupt AAP leadership is rattled and is resorting to intimidation, smear and threats. It will not work,” he added. (ANI)
