Chandigarh, May 20, 2022: The Bharatiya Janata Party today lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab and asked the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann as what happened to their promise, made before elections, of putting the culprits responsible for sacrilege and subsequent police firing in jail within 24 hours of farming the government.
 
In a statement issued here today, the state BJP general secretary Dr Subhash Sharma also referred to former IPS officer and Amritsar North AAP MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap’s latest charges that the AAP government was not taking any interest in the sacrilege and police firing cases and there were attempts to derail it.
 
Sharma reminded Mann that his party’s supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised that if the AAP came to power, those responsible for sacrilege will be put behind bars within 24 hours. “Now you are in the saddle for more than two months, what happened to your promise”, he asked the Chief Minister.
 
The BJP leader told Mann that people of Punjab have never forgiven anyone responsible for sacrilege. “You better act or face the same fate as the previous regimes”, he told the Chief Minister, while advising him, “instead of using your police force to register vendetta cases against your political opponents, use them for punishing the culprits of sacrilege and police firing on innocent protestors”.
