LUDHIANA, June 19: Ludhiana MP, Manish Tewari today said, it was jungle raj prevailing in Punjab with total lawlessness around. Reacting to the murderous assault on a tehsildar in Ludhiana on Friday, Tewari pointed out, this incident had no parallel in a civilized society, not at least in Punjab.
The MP said, the state government should better resign as it has lost all moral authority to continue in power. "When the officers with magisterial powers are not safe, what should be the plight of common masses", Tewari wondered, while adding, the culprits must be thoroughly dealt with.
Tewari pointed out, these were the same people who had attacked his mother during the election campaign in the parliamentary elections. They had also assaulted a party leader and the administration had not taken any action against these people.
He said, it is quite natural for such people to get encouraged and emboldened as they know that they can take law into their own hands. He said, the government should better resign and admit that it had stopped functioning.
The Ludhiana MP pointed out, the assault on Ludhiana tehsidar comes only a day after an Akali MLA went into the official residence of a senior minister and abused and threatened him just because he was not being allowed to raise an illegal construction.Tewari said, the situation was being closely monitored and the Congress would soon be filing a comprehensive report to the government of India over the state of affairs in the state as common man was feeling unsafe and insecure under the Akali raj. "So much so their coalition partners and the BJP ministers are not feeling safe what would be the plight of others", he pointed out.
