Taking note of Punjab's socio-political turmoil, AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal guaranteed the state of giving an honest & stable, a strong, and a disciplined government. He said that AAP will put an end to sacrilege incidents and punish all masterminds and conspirators hell bent on disrupting peace in Punjab. He added that AAP will take 5 crucial steps to strengthen security and promote brotherhood in Punjab; and will end corruption in the police force, strengthen border security to prevent entry of terrorists and drugs.
He assured that all cases of sacrilege and blasts will be probed, masterminds will be jailed to make sure no such occurrences take place in future; additional police force will be constituted for all religious places. He appealed and said give 6 months to AAP; will completely eradicate the drug problem in Punjab. AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal addressed the media regarding the tragic incident of sacrilege and the blast in Ludhiana, and expressed his condolences for those who lost their lives.
Following this, he spoke at the Jansabha at Hanuma Chowk in Gurdaspur amidst roaring crowds, where he guaranteed to transform Punjab. Shri Arvind Kejriwal also attended the Christmas festivities at the New Egertin Woollen Mills Ground in Dhariwal, extending his wishes and speaking about the importance of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Amidst roaring crowds chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, and ‘Jo Bole So Nihaal, Sat Sri Akaal’, AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “I extend my heartiest greetings to everyone gathered here in such large numbers today.
I have been informed that the highest number of soldiers in the Indian army are from Gurdaspur and Pathankot. And hence, most of the people that have been martyred have belonged to these districts. Both these districts are the ultimate homes for patriotism in our country.” Speaking about the recent incidents of sacrilege and the blast in Punjab, Delhi CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “It is deeply tragic to hear about the blast that took place in Ludhiana yesterday. It is a very unfortunate incident in which one person was killed and several are injured right now. Bhagwant Mann Ji has gone to visit them.
I hope that the departed soul rests in peace with God and pray for a speedy recovery for the injured. A few days ago, an incident of sacrilege against the Guru Granth Sahib took place at the most sacred place for the Sikh community, Sri Harmandar Sahib. We are suspecting that the occurrence of such incidents happening right before the elections could have a possible conspiracy behind them, that they’re being deliberately initiated in order to disturb Punjab’s atmosphere. During the last election season as well, a bomb blast had taken place in Morh a week or so before the elections. In 2015 as well, an incident of sacrilege occurred in Bargari.
And again, just in time before the elections, a certain group of people with highly tainted and questionable intentions are executing such horrific occurrences in order to disrupt peace and stir fear in people’s minds. Who are these people? They must be identified, caught, and punished immediately. In my opinion, the person who entered the Golden Temple and committed sacrilege was definitely motivated by an external authority, that he did not do it on his own and was sent by someone. There is definitely a mastermind behind these occurrences who is calling the shots. Such incidents will keep taking place until the government itself is stable and committed enough to stop them at the source.”
