Whoever tries to disturb the peace of Punjab will not be spared at any cost: Aman Arora

 Chandigarh (The Uttam Hindu): Taking a strong stand on the brutal murder of renowned Abohar businessman Sanjay Verma, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab President and Cabinet Minister Aman Arora said that the Punjab Police will soon arrest all those responsible. He met the victim’s family and expressed his condolences.

Raising questions on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Arora said that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the incident, while Bishnoi is lodged in Gujarat's Sabarmati Jail, a BJP-ruled state. He added that Sanjay Verma's brother, Jagat Verma, also asked Sunil Jakhar yesterday why the BJP-led central government and Home Ministry are providing shelter to gangsters in central jails.

Expressing shock, Arora said it was deeply surprising that the Gujarat government had written to the Union Home Ministry requesting that Lawrence Bishnoi be kept in Sabarmati Jail, after which the Home Ministry issued an order under Section 268 to ensure he remains there under all circumstances.

Arora, expressing grief, appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah not to provide political protection to such dangerous gangsters who orchestrate brutal killings. Giving political shelter to such elements is not only a threat to the law and order of Punjab but to the peace and security of the entire nation. He also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against these gangsters.

Casting doubt, Arora said it cannot be mere coincidence that Lawrence Bishnoi orchestrates killings only in non-BJP ruled states. He termed it a well-planned strategy to disrupt the peace in Punjab. He also appealed to Punjab BJP leaders to raise this issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
