Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday lashed out at the Congress government in Punjab after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy got stuck in a road blockade near Hussainiwala. He hit out at the state government over the serious security lapse.
Singh said "complete failure of law and order in Punjab, CM and HM Punjab, in particular." "When you cannot provide smooth passage to the Prime Minister of the country and that too just 10km from the Pakistan border, you have no right to stay in office and should quit!," he added.
The Punjab Lok Congress chief while addressing the media in Ferozepur also said "if we have to keep our state safe and keep law and order system here, then I think President's rule should be imposed."
