Moga: Ahead of municipal elections in Punjab, political violence is rocking the state. A violent clash between Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress members was reported from Moga district on February 9. Two SAD workers died during the clash.
The violent incident happened when Akali and Congress workers were campaigning at Ward No 9 in Moga district. The Akalis have claimed that Congress supporters ran their vehicles over them when they tried to flee.
Three party workers who jumped in to the president’s rescue received bullet injuries, claimed the SAD.
Strongly condemning the “murderous” attack on Sukhbir Singh Badal and others accompanying him, the party has demanded Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s resignation citing the complete breakdown in the law and order situation in the state.
In a statement here, party spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema said: “There was a premeditated attempt on the SAD President’s life and the Jalalabad police was complicit in this crime as it allowed the attackers a free run. A high-level judicial inquiry should be held into this attack under the supervision of the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana high court as the heinous act seems to be enjoy State patronage.”
