Shocked to hear about the blast at the @PunjabPoliceInd Intelligence headquarter in Mohali. Thankfully nobody was hurt.
This brazen attack on our police force is deeply concerning and I urge CM @BhagwantMann to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice at the earliest.
On this matter Sukhbir Badal, former Deputy CM of Punjab and head of Shiromani Akali Dal, tweeted saying:
It’s disturbing that versions of CM & his DGP on the critical Mohali attack don’t match.
CM claims arrests; within hours DGP contradicts him. @BhagwantMann pls ensure peace, expose & punish guilty. But don’t make it an excuse for wild witch hunt & repression against Sikh youth. https://t.co/xOHCFjng80
Along with this, Pratap Singh Bajwa of Congress expressed concern and said that-
RPG attack on Punjab Police intelligence wing office in Mohali is worrying. This after RDX was found a few days back in Tarn Taran. Punjab has been through dark times already, we can’t afford to damage the hard earned peace of Punjab.
Khalistani terrorists may have a hand-
According to the report of NDTV, Khalistani terrorists are also believed to be behind this attack. The inputs of IB were shared by Punjab Police with Haryana Police, after which 4 Khalistani terrorists were arrested from Karnal. A large quantity of weapons was also recovered from their possession. The news is that intelligence agencies believe that there is definitely some coordination in all these incidents. At the same time, Khalistani flags were found outside the Himachal Assembly two days ago. It is believed that the meeting of Khalistani flags can also be part of this conspiracy. Soon an FIR can be registered in this case.
