Chandigarh: The leader of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Bikram Singh Majithia on Monday said that the Aam Aadmi Party has failed to provide security and safety to tax payers in Punjab.
Speaking with the media Bikram Singh Majithia demanded withdrawal of the Z-plus security cover given to Bibhav Kumar, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s OSD as well as Advisor to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Majithia said: “Forget norms, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has even thrown morality to the winds by granting Z-plus security cover to a person who was accused of molesting AAP MP Swati Mahiwal.”
Asserting that there was no need to provide security cover to Bibhav Kumar, Majithia said “since Bibhav lives in Delhi, his security can be overseen by the Delhi Police. Providing his seven security personnel round the clock is not justified under any circumstances”.
Asking Chief Minister Mann to tell Punjabis why he had taken this decision in his capacity as Home Minister, Majithia said: “The AAP government has failed to provide security and safety to tax-payers in Punjab. It has failed to rein in gangsters and now even terrorist activities are on the rise.
“Jails have become a haven for criminals from where they conduct their criminal activities. In such a situation, the (Punjab) Chief Minister should be allocating personnel on policing duties instead of taking steps to please his boss Kejriwal,” he said.
He also appealed to the Punjab Police to boycott this patently wrong decision.
