‘Government failed to ensure public safety’
Wadding said, ‘If only policemen are not safe in Punjab, then what hope is left for the common citizens? From gang violence to targeted killings, crime is increasing alarmingly in Punjab, while the Bhagwant Mann government is turning a blind eye to it. This government has completely failed in its biggest responsibility – ensuring public safety. The culprits should be immediately arrested and brought to justice. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
