A statement by Congress leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa has created a ruckus. Bajwa claimed that 50 bombs had come to Punjab, out of which 10-12 have exploded, the rest are left. After this statement came to light, the Punjab Police immediately reached his house in Sector 8 of Chandigarh and questioned him. At the same time, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann questioned his sources on Bajwa's statement and gave him a stern warning.

Mann asks Bajwa about Pakistani connection

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has targeted Pratap Bajwa's statement about 50 bombs. He said that if Bajwa had received this information, then what is his connection with Pakistan that the terrorists there are directly calling him and telling him how many bombs we have sent? He said that this information has neither come from the Intelligence nor from the Central Government, but if such a big leader has come to the Leader of the Opposition, then it was his responsibility to tell the Punjab Police that there are bombs here. Were they waiting for the bombs to explode and people to die so that their politics could continue? And if it is a lie, do they want to spread terror in Punjab by saying such things?

Warning given to Pratap Bajwa

CM Bhagwant Mann said that Pratap Bajwa will have to clearly explain where he got this information from, what are his sources who are giving him such information directly, and if it is not so, then he is spreading terror and major action will be taken on this. If spreading terror is his motive, then the Congress party should sack this man because he is working against the country and is standing with anti-national forces," he said.

What did Pratap Bajwa say?

Even after the CM's warning, Pratap Bajwa's attitude did not soften, he made it clear that his sources had given him this information. "I am ready to cooperate with the government in this matter, but will not reveal the names of my sources under any circumstances," he said. He said that once again the situation in Punjab is becoming uncontrollable.
