New Delhi [India], March 15 (ANI): BJP national spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla attacked the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab condemning the Amritsar temple attack.
Poonawalla stated ever since the AAP government has come to power in the state, the law and order situation has worsened.
Poonawalla stated that all these grenade attacks have happened in a chain manner wherein some of them have happened at the police station as well.
"Ever since Aam Aadmi Party's government came to power, law and order situation has become terrible... All these grenade attacks have happened in a chained way, with some happening on police stations as well... Whereas, the police is busy with the protection of Arvind Kejriwal...", he said to ANI on Saturday.
A blast occurred at Thakurdwara Temple in Khandwala, Amritsar, late last night after two bike-borne men lobbed an object, suspected to be an explosive, at the temple.
According to eyewitnesses two young men riding a motorcycle were seen lobbing a suspicious object towards the temple. CCTV footage has captured the incident.No injuries were reported, and police personnel were immediately present at the scene to investigate the incident.
Amritsar Commissioner GPS Bhullar has suggested the hand of Pakistan Intel agency ISI in the blast.
"We got information at 2 a.m. We reached the spot right away. The forensic team was called... We checked the CCTV and spoke to the nearby people. The thing is that Pakistan's ISI lures our youth into creating disturbances in Punjab," he said.
Bhullar expressed confidence in solving the case swiftly, saying, "We will trace this case within days and take appropriate action."
He also issued a stern warning to the youth, urging them not to ruin their lives. "I warn the youth not to ruin their lives... We will catch the culprits soon," he added.
Police teams have seized the CCTV footage and according to preliminary investigation the youth on a motorcycle had a flag in his hands and the two of them were standing around the temple for some time before lobbing the grenade. (ANI)
