Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Captain Amarinder Singh condoled the death of a youth in police firing in Gurdaspur. He appealed to the people of the state to maintain peace and communal harmony at all costs and not to get provoked.
Expressing shock and grief over the death of a youth Jaspal Singh and serious injuries to two others Ranjit Singh and Hardeep Singh, he also asked the police to exercise utmost caution and restraint in dealing with the protestors lest precious lives are lost as happened today in Gurdaspur.
Conveying his sympathies to the bereaved family, the PCC President asked the government for adequate compensation to his family, besides providing assistance for the treatment of the injured youth. Captain Amarinder cautioned the state government against any laxity in the law and order saying it did not portend well for the state as this government is proving to be very ineffective in maintaining peace and law and order in the state.
“This government seems to be trapped between inaction and overreaction”, he remarked, while pointing out, either it takes no action or when it does, it resorts to overreaction thus complicating the matter further.
