Just a few people funded by Pakistan": Bhagwant Mann on Ajnala clashes

Bhavnagar (Gujarat) [India], February 27 : In the firing line of Opposition in the wake of the violence at Ajnala in Amritsar district, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann sought to dispel fears of a deteriorating law and order situation claiming the clashes were an attempt by neighbouring Pakistan to stoke tensions and disturb peace in the border state.

Mann’s remarks came after thousands of followers of the alleged pro-Khalistan outfit stormed the Ajnala police station, flashing swords and high-caliber firearms, on February 23, threatening the police with dire consequences if they did not release Lovepreet Toofan, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting and abducting a man.

He stressed peace prevails in Punjab and his government was driving the state towards development.

“Punjab will not be disturbed. There is peace in the state. The Punjab government is taking the state towards progress,” the CM said.

However, former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, on February 23, expressed grave concern over the Ajnala incident.

A day after the clashes, Mann, on February 24, claimed that the law and order situation was under control.

“As far as yesterday’s incident is concerned, appropriate action will be taken. The video footage is being analysed. The SP was injured and was administered 11 stitches. Five other Police personnel were also injured. Their statement will be recorded and further legal action will be taken,” the DGP said on February 24.(ANI)
