CHANDIGARH: Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Friday accused the Aam Aadmi Party-led government of converting Punjab into a "police state," where the voices of dissent were being strangulated "mercilessly."
"In sheer violation of the democratic rights of public representatives, the CIA staff Fazilka didn't allow a delegate of senior Congress leadership to meet arrested Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira. The AAP government has stooped to an all-time low and is now resorting to petty vendetta politics. The Punjab Congress will not be cowed down by such pressure tactics," Bajwa added.
