Moga,: Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today said that Punjab was a fit case for the President’s rule as anarchy and bankruptcy was prevailing all over the state.
“There is total collapse of the law and order machinery in the state while the economy has gone bankrupt long back”, he remarked while talking to reporters after meeting the parents of Arshdeep, the girl who jumped to death in an attempt to escape the molesters while travelling in an Orbit Aviations bus owned by the ruling Badal family.
The former Chief Minister pointed out, criminal incidents of serious nature were taking place in Punjab at an alarming regularity and people were feeling unsafe and insecure. “There was a feeling of fear and insecurity prevailing among people as such incidents were taking place every second day”, he said, arguing that this government had lost the will to govern and hence the President’s rule was the only option.
Capt Amarinder condemned the manner in which Arshdeep was cremated in a hush-hush manner. He said, the Badals had behaved typically like the British the way they had cremated Bhagat Singh during the night to avoid public outburst.
Earlier while meeting the parents of the girl, both of whom are undergoing treatment in the Civil Hospital here, Capt Amarinder expressed his heartfelt condolences to them over the loss of their daughter.
He said, he could feel their pain as a parent and said, he alongwith his party stood by them in this hour of grief and tragedy. He promised them that he will ensure that the culprits were brought to the book.
Capt Amarinder also gave Rs 2 lakhs to the girl’s parents.
Addressing the dharna outside the Civil Hospital, the former Chief Minister resolved that he will ensure that the Badals were thrown out of Punjab. “Their countdown has already started and soon they will run for cover”, he asserted.
Capt Amarinder was accompanied by the Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha Sunil Jakhar, former union minister Preneet Kaur, Kewal Singh Dhillon, Hardayal Kambhoj, Ramanjit Singh Sikki, Joginder Singh Panjgraian, Harchand Kaur, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Ajaib Sigh Bhatti, Balbir Singh Sidhu, Navtej Cheema, Gurkirat Singh Kotli, Gur Iqbal Kaur Babli, Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, Karan Kaur Brar, Chaudhary Jagjit Singh, Amarjit Singh Samra, Gurpreet Kangar, Harpartap Singh Ajnala, Jagdarshan Kaur, Milkiat Singh Dakha, Harminder Gill, Pawan Dewan, Jagpal Singh Khangura, SS Kathunangal, Kaka Lohgarh, Kikki Dhillon, BIS Chahal, Gurmail Singh Pahalwan, Gurinder Guggu Sarpanch and others.
