During this, the Punjab president also questioned the government’s lax action on the threats being received at the Golden Temple.

Ashwani Sharma said that he has not come here as a leader or a party. He has come as Nanak Naam Leva Sangat. He said that the Modi government is sensitive towards the security of Punjab. The Centre has taken immediate action on every need.

The government woke up after three days

The BJP leader accused the Bhagwant Mann government. He said that the state government did not take the threats to the Guru Ghar seriously. The government woke up after three days and started taking action. He said that the state government should ensure the safety of the Guru Ghar in collaboration with the Centre.

Ashwini Sharma said that he came to Darbar Sahib after the message of the Union Home Minister. He said that the CM should have come here on the first day after the threat incident. But it took him four to five days. Even now, the government is adopting a lax attitude. It is being said that the criminals have been caught, but threats are still being received. The Punjab government has made a joke of this issue as well.
