Bajwa also demanded that those responsible for perpetrating the unprovoked police firing that killed two and injured several others must be brought to book.
It has been nearly 292 days since Sukhraj Singh, son of Krishan Bhagwan Singh, has been sitting on a protest demonstration in Behbal Kalan seeking justice. However the Bhagwant Mann government has failed to take any concrete measures in this regard.
Bajwa said he was surprised to know that the two separate Special Investigation Teams (SITs) formed to probe the Behbal Kalan and Kotkapura police firing incidents have also not yet completed the probe.
“ It has been nearly 7 years since the firing incidents occurred. And the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had promised to deliver justice immediately after coming to power. However nothing seems to be moving ahead in this direction”, said Bajwa.
Bajwa said the developmental works in the state had almost come to a standstill. “ Even an ordinary commodity such as sand has gone out of the reach of the common man due to lack of clarity or a coherent policy on the sand mining”.
Bajwa said Punjab’s health services have also taken a hit in Punjab due to non availability of essential medicines in the civil hospitals and rural dispensaries.
