Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 25: Two days after radical groups attacked a police station exposing lawlessness Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann broke his silence, the demand for imposing President’s rule in the state gained momentum.
Amid violent protests in Punjab over the arrest of Amritpal Singh's aide Lovepreet Toofan, Prakash Singh, the former Uttar Pradesh director general of police (DGP) has asked the central government to implement President’s Rule in the state. Tagging the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Twitter, he also urged the centre to send in strong Governors and Advisors who come with a security background to tackle the situation in Punjab.
In a tweet, Singh wrote, “There is no time to lose. G0I should declare President's Rule in Punjab, and send a strong Governor and Advisors who have security background. @PMO_ NaMo#@HMOIndia”
Many security experts have warned that if a non-serious person like Bhagwant Mann is allowed to be Chief Minister of Punjab, the state will return to the earlier 1980s situation.
Known security expert Ramnik Mann termed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab as a nightmare for the security establishment of the country.
Singh’s close aide Toofan, who is said to be a Khalistani sympathizer was released from Amritsar jail on Friday after the orders of the Ajnala court. The ruling came a day after Singh’s supporters stormed the Ajnala police station, demanding Toofan's immediate release.
Former Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh has also demanded imposing President rule in Punjab to save the state from the hands of anarchists. |
