Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema asked the chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi to clarify “what deal was struck with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah” on increasing the jurisdiction of BSF in Punjab from 15 km to 50 km.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a walkout from the special session of Punjab Legislative Assembly over the Centre’s extension of jurisdiction of Border Security Force (BSF) Thursday, accusing Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi of playing an important role in the “deal”.
Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema asked the chief minister to clarify “what deal was struck with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah” on increasing the jurisdiction of BSF in Punjab from 15 km to 50 km. “Why does Channi have such compulsions and weaknesses that he was forced to kneel before the Modi government at the Centre,” he asked.
Meanwhile, after the walkout, MLA Aman Arora claimed the CM was seen avoiding his questions in the House.
He said “Channi met Amit Shah in Delhi and then tweeted from his Twitter handle, describing the Punjab border as unsafe, stating that drugs and weapons were coming from across the border”.
