Punjab Temple Blast Sparks Political Row: BJP Slams AAP Government Over Worsening Law & Order

"Ever Since AAP Took Power, Law & Order Has Collapsed" ā€“ Shahzad Poonawalla

BJP blames AAP for rising security threats as Amritsar blast fuels concerns over Punjabā€™s safety


šŸ“ New Delhi, March 15: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly condemned the recent grenade attack at Thakurdwara Temple in Amritsar, with national spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla accusing the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of failing to maintain law and order in Punjab.

Poonawalla claimed that under AAPā€™s rule, Punjab has seen a sharp rise in attacks, including multiple grenade incidents targeting police stations, raising concerns about security failures in the state.

šŸ“¢ "Ever since Aam Aadmi Party's government came to power, the law and order situation has become terrible. All these grenade attacks have happened in a chain manner, with some even targeting police stationsā€¦ Meanwhile, the police are busy protecting Arvind Kejriwal," he said in an interview.


šŸ”¹ The Attack: What Happened in Amritsar?

šŸšØ Incident: Late Friday night, two unidentified bike-borne attackers lobbed an explosive device at the Thakurdwara Temple in Khandwala, Amritsar.

šŸ“¹ CCTV Footage: Surveillance cameras captured two young men on a motorcycle, one of whom was carrying a flag, loitering near the temple before launching the attack.

šŸ” Casualties: No injuries were reported, but the attack has sent shockwaves through the state, prompting an immediate police investigation.

šŸ‘® Forensic Investigation: Authorities reached the scene promptly, securing evidence and reviewing CCTV footage to trace the attackers.


šŸ”¹ Police Suspect Pakistanā€™s Hand in the Attack

Amid rising concerns about security breaches in Punjab, Amritsar Police Commissioner GPS Bhullar has pointed to Pakistanā€™s intelligence agency, ISI, as a key suspect in orchestrating the attack.

šŸ“¢ *"We received information at 2 a.m. and rushed to the site. The forensic team was called in, and after reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to locals, we believe that Pakistan's ISI is luring Punjabā€™s youth into creating disturbances," Bhullar stated.

He assured the public that the case would be solved within days, adding:

šŸ“¢ "We will catch the culprits soon. I urge Punjabā€™s youth not to ruin their lives by getting involved in such activities."

šŸš” Investigation Ongoing: Police teams have seized the CCTV footage, and a manhunt is underway to track down the perpetrators.


šŸ”¹ Political War of Words: BJP vs AAP

The attack has escalated political tensions, with BJP accusing AAP of failing to safeguard Punjab while the police remain preoccupied with political duties.

šŸ”“ BJPā€™s Allegations Against AAP:
āœ”ļø Failing to control rising terrorist activities
āœ”ļø Neglecting law enforcement while focusing on Kejriwalā€™s security
āœ”ļø Inability to curb cross-border infiltration and terror links

šŸ”µ AAPā€™s Defense:
āœ”ļø Claims BJP is politicizing a security issue
āœ”ļø Accuses BJP of playing communal politics ahead of elections
āœ”ļø Ensures swift action against culprits


šŸ”¹ Whatā€™s Next?

āœ”ļø Enhanced Security: Punjab Police and central agencies are expected to increase surveillance and security measures across sensitive locations.
āœ”ļø Intelligence Probe: Authorities are investigating ISIā€™s possible role and cross-border terror links.
āœ”ļø Political Fallout: With elections approaching, expect heated debates over Punjabā€™s security situation.
