Punjab should come under red alert, Central forces be deployed in state: Chugh

Chandigarh, January 25, 2022: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today demanded that a red alert in Punjab where the law and order situation has completely collapsed.

Reacting to an incident of desecration in the Kali Mata temple in Patiala, Chugh said anti-national and disruptive forces were very active in Punjab and have been trying to create a violent situation.

He said recent incidents in which sacrilege attempt was made in the Golden Temple, Amritsar, bomb blast in Ludhiana and recovery of a huge cache of arms and ammunition in the border districts of Pathankot and Amritsar indicated that the Congress government led by Charanjit Singh Channi has failed completely to  maintain law and order.

While reiterating his demand for a white paper of law and order situation in Punjab Chugh said in view of the forthcoming elections in the state the Central security forces should be deployed so that a sense of security could be instilled among the people.

Chugh expressed fear that anti-national forces might become more active in days to come because of strong links of the Congress leaders  with the Pakistan agencies. "We have already seen Navjot Sidhu acting as Pakistan mole in the state", Chugh added.
