The Chief minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, has made a big statement regarding the recent operation conducted against a Khalistani sympathizer and 'Waris Punjab de' chief, Amritpal Singh. CM Mann has revealed that he received information about the operation on Amritpal in the night itself and could not sleep until he knew that it had been conducted without any bloodshed or disruptions.
CM Mann emphasized that the government's priority was to maintain law and order in the state and to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. "We don't do vendetta politics," he said, making it clear that the government would not engage in any kind of political vendetta.
The last time Amritpal was about to get arrested on March 18, the authorities did not take action as it could have created disruptions and bloodshed in the place. DGP Punjab had informed him about the plan to bring Guru Granth Sahib Ji's ride in a palanquin in front of the police station, but he had given strict instructions to the DGP that no water should fall on the Guru Sahib's ride, no matter what happens. This is because the dignity of Guru Sahib is paramount for Punjab.
CM Mann said that he had been in constant touch with all senior officers throughout the night and wanted the operation to be completed peacefully. He stayed up all night and did not sleep because he wanted peace and tranquility in Punjab. "It is my duty to ensure that peace and tranquility prevail in Punjab," he added.
He also mentioned that the police could have arrested Amritpal on March 18, but they did not want to create a bad atmosphere. The police had planned everything and executed it perfectly to ensure that there were no disruptions.
'आप' सरकार जनता की सुरक्षा और अमन कानून के लिए काम कर रही है और यह हमारी ज़िम्मेदारी व फर्ज़ भी है...
