Chandigarh, December 23

Reiterating his concern over challenges from across the border to peace, security and law and order in the state, former CM Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday hoped the police and other security agencies would closely coordinate with each other in investigating the Ludhiana blast.

Condemning the blast, the former CM regretted the “diversionary tactics” used by the state government, particularly CM Charanjit Channi. “It is not only unfortunate but highly irresponsible on part of the CM to jump to conclusions by trying to construct a link between the blasts, sacrilege incidents and the FIR against an Akali leader without any investigations,” he said. — TNS
