The SAD and AAP attacked Sunday the Punjab government, led by Congress, following the grenade attack in Amritsar. They claimed that there was "a complete collapse" of law and order in the state.

Sukhbir Singh Badal, head of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), asserted that the law and order situation in Punjab was "deteriorated" immediately after the coming to power of Congress.

He said the congressional government "encouraged" elements whose sole purpose was to disturb the hard-won Punjab peace.

Unfortunately, the current congressional government believes that politics weighs on peace, said Sukhbir Singh Badal in a statement.

"It is this thought that brought the Punjab into a dark period earlier, and the current government must permanently abandon this policy for lasting peace in the state," he said.

The SAD leader said the congressional government lacked its duty to maintain peace in the state.

The head of the SAD and Union Minister, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, has launched on Twitter to attack Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

The patriarch of the SAD, Parkash Singh Badal, condemned the attack.

He alleged that congressional leaders in the state tended to "encourage, promote and flirt with enemies of peace for political purposes".

"The growing violence in Punjab today is a direct result of the cynical political opportunism of the congressional party in the state and its fighting with the enemies of peace," said the spokesman. former head of government.

The party Aam Aadmi (AAP) also condemned the attack and questioned the state's maintenance of order.

The situation has worsened and police and other agencies have "failed," AAP leaders Bhagwant Mann, Sadhu Singh, Harpal Singh Cheema and Budhram said in a statement.

The anti-social elements question the integrity and prosperity of the state, they said.

Mr Mann said that Amarinder Singh should entrust the portfolio of home affairs to someone who really wants to do his homework.

The PAA has also requested a limited-time judicial inquiry into the incident.

Meanwhile, Congress President Rahul Gandhi condemned the attack. "The news about the attack in Amritsar hurts me a lot, it can not be sentenced enough, and I offer my sincere condolences to the families of the deceased," he said.

In the meantime, Congress legislator, Raj Kumar Verka, told reporters in Amritsar that the explosion was the result of a "failure" of intelligence agencies.

"They (the antisocial elements) have again tried to foment troubles in Punjab, but the citizens of the state have always taken up this challenge with courage.We will treat them (anti-social elements) with an iron fist. that it is a failure of intelligence services (agencies), be it from the state or the Center, "he said.
