As LoP, Pratap Singh Bajwa Should Act Responsibly: Harpal Singh Cheema

• Bajwa Should Share Concrete Evidence If Any with Authorities for Punjab’s Security: Harpal Singh Cheema
• Says, Opposition and Government Share Equal Responsibility for Maintaining Peace in Punjab

Chandigarh/Dirba/Sangrur, April 13 (WISHAVWARTA):- Strongly criticizing the recent statement made by Leader of the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa, Punjab Finance Minister Advocate Harpal Singh Cheema on Sunday said that as a constitutional officeholder, Bajwa is duty-bound to provide any solid information he possesses to the Punjab Police to ensure the safety and security of the people of the state.

Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema further said that this statement also raised serious concerns about Bajwa’s links with smugglers and agencies from Pakistan attempting to disrupt peace and law in Punjab. Cheema criticized Bajwa’s statement as being made in bad faith, reflecting poorly on his political thinking and judgment.

The Finance Minister has appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann to initiate a comprehensive investigation into Bajwa’s statement and take strict legal action if necessary. He further urged Bajwa to act responsibly, stating, “The opposition has an equal responsibility, alongside the state government, to maintain peace and harmony in Punjab. This is a time to confront anti-Punjab forces unitedly, not to demoralize the police and the people with baseless and irresponsible remarks.”
