Bajwa hits out at AAP govt for collapsing Law and Order; says “criminals rule while the CM sleeps” Chandigarh 31 October ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Coming down heavily on the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government, Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of allowing Punjab to descend into anarchy, where fear and lawlessness have become the new normal. Bajwa said the spate of violent crimes across Punjab this week exposed the total collapse of governance under the AAP regime. “The people of Punjab today live in fear. The streets are ruled by criminals while the CM, who also holds the Home portfolio, remains asleep at the wheel,” Bajwa charged. Citing three major crime incidents within a span of just a few days, Bajwa said the situation had reached an alarming point: On Tuesday, in Mansa, Satish Kumar, a pesticide shop owner and uncle of RTI activist Manik Goyal, was attacked — a chilling message to those who dare to speak up.

Bajwa hits out at AAP govt for collapsing Law and Order; says “criminals rule while the CM sleeps”
Chandigarh 31 October ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Coming down heavily on the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government, Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of allowing Punjab to descend into anarchy, where fear and lawlessness have become the new normal. Bajwa said the spate of violent crimes across Punjab this week exposed the total collapse of governance under the AAP regime. “The people of Punjab today live in fear. The streets are ruled by criminals while the CM, who also holds the Home portfolio, remains asleep at the wheel,” Bajwa charged. Citing three major crime incidents within a span of just a few days, Bajwa said the situation had reached an alarming point:
On Tuesday, in Mansa, Satish Kumar, a pesticide shop owner and uncle of RTI activist Manik Goyal, was attacked — a chilling message to those who dare to speak up.
On Thursday morning, in Jalandhar, three armed and masked men carried out a brazen daylight robbery at a jewellery shop, looting cash and ornaments worth lakhs at gunpoint. Later that night, in Machhiwara, unidentified assailants opened fire on a man, leaving residents terrified and angry at the police’s helplessness. “These chilling incidents are not isolated acts of crime; they are symptoms of a deep rot that has set in under the Mann government,” Bajwa said. “The Chief Minister’s repeated boasts about improving law and order have proven hollow. The Home Department has been reduced to a silent spectator while organised gangs and drug cartels operate with impunity.” The senior Congress leader further said that CM Mann had miserably failed to honour his grand promise of making Punjab a drug-free state. “Deadline after deadline has passed, yet drugs continue to flow freely in our villages and cities. The youth are being destroyed, and the government’s response has been nothing but empty slogans,” he added. Bajwa demanded that Bhagwant Mann immediately take personal responsibility for the breakdown in law and order and convene a high-level review to restore public faith in the state machinery.
