Reacting to the breach in PM’s security, former PCC chief Sunil Jakhar said, “What has happened today is just not acceptable. It’s against Punjabiat”.
In a tweet, Jakhar said, “A secure passage for the Prime Minister to address BJP’s political rally in Ferozepur should have been ensured. That’s how democracy works. Modi should have gone to rally to expose the BJP (as there were) very few people in the rally.”
State minister Pargat Singh said the real reason for Modi’s absence from the Ferozepur rally was total boycott by the people of Punjab. The Punjab Government in consultation with the SPG and other Central agencies provided all security support.
MP Ravneet Bittu said “Sons, mothers and sisters of Punjab farmers sat on the borders of Delhi for more than a year in cold, rainy and windy weather. Modi and BJP workers have been shown a small trailer of those conditions by God today on his arrival in Punjab.”
