Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday hit out at the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, blaming it for a complete breakdown of the law-and-order situation in the State.
Mr. Gandhi met the family of slain Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, known as Sidhu Moosewala, at their Moosa village residence in Mansa district to express condolences. He said the AAP government in Punjab was not capable of maintaining peace and calm in the State. The Congress, he added, would ensure that justice was delivered to Moosewala’s family.
On May 29, Moosewala, was shot dead by unidentified assailants at Jahawarke village, a day after his security cover was trimmed. He contested the 2022 Assembly election as the Congress candidate from the Mansa constituency.
