Punjab Budget session: Congress demands CM Bhagwant Mann's resignation over 'deteriorating law and order'
Chandigarh (Punjab), March 6: On the second day of the Punjab Budget session, the Congress party demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann due to the "deteriorating law and order situation" in the Punjab assembly.
The day's session began with a discussion of the Governor's speech, but the opposition quickly raised concerns about the state of law and order. Pratap Singh Bajwa, the senior Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, stated "The present situation in Punjab has become very bad. Gangsters are killing in Punjab jails and making videos from inside the jail. The Chief Minister has failed to maintain law and order. Chief Minister should resign from his post".
Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the president of the Punjab Congress, arrived at the state assembly wearing a T-shirt depicting recent crimes.
He also took to Twitter to express his concerns about the state of law and order in Punjab.
"Each & every Punjabi feels that the Law & order situation of the state has collapsed but @PunjabGovtIndia continues to disregard facts. @PunjabPoliceInd failed to act against those who attacked its senior officials. @INCPunjab MLAs have sworn to be people's voice at the VS" he said on Twitter.
He also stated that the family of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala has not received justice.
"Musewala's father is hurt and is still expecting justice to be delivered. What does the government want that now the killers should also harm Siddu Musewala's father?"
In response to the opposition, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh stated that the current situation in Punjab is fine and that the Chief Minister is capable of maintaining law and order.
The Punjab budget session is currently underway and will last until March 24.
