Chandigarh : Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh today asked the Punjab Police as why they were not arresting Delhi AAP MLA Naresh Yadav even after the latter was confronted with facts and evidence by co-accused Vijay Kumar. He also lashed out at AAP for its repeated blasphemous acts.
“It is surprising that the police are not arresting the AAP MLA,” he said, while wondering what made the police to go so soft on the accused despite grave allegations with substantial evidence against him. Or, he asked, there was some subtle understanding between AAP and the ruling Akali-BJP alliance, to disturb peace in the state.
Warning against any laxity in the matter, the PCC president maintained that there was a pattern in the sacrilegious incidents which started with the desecration of Guru Granth Sahib, followed by Gita and now Quran. “There seems to be clear and deliberate design to sabotage peace in Punjab and it must be curbed with iron fist,” he said.
The former CM said not only had AAP hurt the sentiments of people by using the picture of the Golden Temple with their electoral symbol, it had also violated the electoral law. “This is a clear violation of election laws as religious symbols cannot be used for political purposes and campaigns,” he said, while hoping that the Election Commission of India would take serious note of the matter.
