Warring condemns police brutality against *MGNREGA employees* in Khanna
Says, Mann has turned Punjab into police state
Chandigarh 15 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today condemned the brutal police barbarity against the MGNREGA employees in Khanna who were demanding the payment of their pending wages. “Bhagwant Mann has turned Punjab into a police state”, he remarked, while noting that instead of listening to the problems and demands of the needy, he has been using brute police force against them.
Moreover, he pointed out, the workers were not only staging a peaceful sit-in dharna, but were also chanting ‘Satnam Wahe Guru’ and still the police resorted to such brutality. The PCC president asked what wrong had the MGNREGA employees done that they were showered with water cannons, teargas shells and lathis by the police. “Is this how a common man’s government deals with its people?” he asked, while demanding the suspension of the police and civil administration officers who resorted to unprovoked and brutal lathi-charge on the MGNREGA employees.
