Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Wednesday seeks a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the grenade blast at the residence of BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia in Jalandhar city.
Speaking with the reporters in Jalandhar after visiting the house of Kalia, former minister and ex-Punjab BJP President’s house, Majithia questioned Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over his “silence” on the grenade blast and other terror incidents. “Bhagwant Mann is the home minister and he has not made any statement yet,” said Majithia.
He said 17 explosion incidents have taken place in the past few months. “Has anybody heard about so many such incidents taking place in any state in the country?” he asked, while questioning the government over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
There have been several incidents of explosions, targeting police posts in Amritsar and Gurdaspur in the past four to five months, but this was the first such incident when the house of a prominent politician was targeted.
Last month, a blast occurred outside a temple in Amritsar. Regarding AAP blaming gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and Pakistan’s spy agency ISI for the blast in Kalia’s residence, Majithia said, “It is a cover-up. BJP leader Kalia is a big name. If his house is under attack, then you can well imagine what is the law and order in the state.” “To mislead people, the ISI and Bishnoi have been blamed for this blast incident… This is misleading information only to mislead the public,” he added.
