In a statement issued on Friday, Punjab BJP general secretary, Dr Subhash Sharma, said that AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised that if the AAP came to power, those responsible for sacrilege will be put behind bars within 24 hours asked why was the party sitting on its promise after being voted to power.

Sharma on Friday also referred to former IPS officer and Amritsar (north) AAP MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap’s latest charges that the AAP government was not taking any interest in the sacrilege and police firing cases and there were attempts to derail it.

The BJP leader told Mann that people of Punjab have never forgiven anyone responsible for sacrilege. “You better act or face the same fate as the previous regimes,” he told the Punjab Chief Minister, adding, “Instead of using your police force to register cases of vendetta against your political opponents, use them for punishing the culprits of sacrilege and police firing on innocent protesters”.
