Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. During their long scheduled meet, the Punjab Chief Minister and Union Home Minister discussed a number of issues including Drone infiltration, border security and law and order. This is the first meeting of the CM and the Home Minister after the Amritpal Singh incident which saw violent clash in Ajnala as the Khalistani supporters clashed with the Police for the release of one of their associates.
CM Mann says Pakistan stoking tension in the border state
Addressing the media on the violence in Ajnala earlier, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had earlier said that the clashes were an attempt by neighbouring Pakistan to stoke tensions in the border state.
“Do you consider 1,000 people as representing entire Punjab? Come to Punjab and see who are raising such slogans. It`s just a few people funded by foreign powers, especially Pakistan. Rajasthan shares a bigger boundary with Pakistan than Punjab.
Why aren`t drones (from Pakistan) sent there? Why are they all coming to Punjab? Their handlers want to disturb peace in Punjab.”He stressed peace prevails in Punjab and his government was driving the state towards development.”Punjab will not be disturbed. There is peace in the state. The Punjab government is taking the state towards progress,” the CM said.
