The Chief Justice’s bench will hear this petition tomorrow.
Union Home Ministry has sought report
The Union Home Ministry has sought a detailed report from the Punjab government in the matter of security lapse during PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Ferozepur. Home Minister Amit Shah said that such an incident cannot be accepted. Accountability will be fixed in this matter.
The Prime Minister’s convoy was stopped on the highway for about 20 minutes due to the closure of the road in Bathinda and the Punjab Police had to make a lot of effort to send them off.
CM Channi did not accept the security lapse
Punjab CM Charanjit Channi has so far denied any case of lapse in the security of the Prime Minister. He said that PM Modi suddenly made a program to go by road instead of air, due to which such a situation arose. He said that 70 thousand chairs were set up in the BJP rally in Ferozepur, but 700 people came. Due to which the Prime Minister had to cancel the rally.
Know what happened on January 5
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally was held on 5 January in Ferozepur in view of the 2022 assembly elections. This rally was to start the BJP’s election campaign in Punjab. Along with this, Prime Minister Modi also had to lay the foundation of a project worth crores. But the farmers blocked the roads opposing the Prime Minister. BJP workers were also not allowed to reach the rally venue. The farmers argued and clashed with them, due to which the police had to lathi-charge. Many BJP workers were injured in this lathi charge.
On the other hand the Prime Minister was coming to rally that his rally had to be canceled at the last moment. At the same time, he had to return by way, because the road was closed in Bathinda. Due to the closure of the road, his convoy was stuck on the highway for about 20 minutes. Due to this, there is resentment in the BJP camp. Politics has heated up on this issue. Because CM Channi had also refused to come to the rally on the last occasion, citing the reason for the increase in the corona case. Also, even when the PM’s convoy was trapped, his cooperation was not found.
