Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday expressed concerns over the law and order situation in Punjab after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to power in March, saying people in the border State did not feel safe.
Mr. Puri, who holds the Housing and Urban Affairs (HUA) and Petroleum and Natural Gas portfolios, was addressing a press conference at the HUA Ministry offices about the achievements of the two Ministries in eight years of the Narendra Modi government.
When asked about the law and order situation in Punjab, with the recent killing of rapper Sidhu Moosewala, Mr. Puri said: “Law and order has deteriorated to where people don’t feel safe. It’s a free-for-all. They [AAP] are not able to handle it”.
