Unrest in Rabindranagar escalates into political controversy as clashes over a shop lead to violence, prompting calls for central intervention amid governance criticism.

Rabindranagar Unrest Violent Clashes and Politics

Tensions in Rabindranagar rise after local clashes turn violent. BJP and TMC face off, debating governance failures as police restore order. The region remains tense amid ongoing political fallout.

Rabindranagar clashes over a shop dispute escalated into violence, leading to political upheaval and demands for central intervention amid claims of failed governance.

Tension simmered in the Rabindranagar area near Kolkata on Wednesday as a violent clash between two groups spiralled into widespread unrest, leaving several police personnel injured and multiple vehicles vandalised, prompting heavy reinforcements and political fallout.
Police said five people were injured in the clash while four were arrested.
The opposition BJP demanded deployment of central forces in the trouble-torn area, while the ruling TMC accused the saffron camp of politicising a local issue.
The violence, which erupted over the setting up of a shop in Maheshtala under Rabindranagar Police Station in South 24 Parganas district, quickly escalated, turning the area into a virtual battlefield.
"Bricks were hurled from rooftops, tyres were set ablaze on the roads, and miscreants torched a motorbike in front of the police station. Several police vehicles were damaged, and at least one police personnel was left bleeding after being hit by a brick," a police officer told reporters.
Eyewitnesses said chaos unfolded right outside the police station as protesters threw stones, leaving officers, including a woman constable, injured.
Reinforcements from Kolkata and the Rapid Action Force (RAF) were rushed to the scene, and tear gas shells were fired to disperse the mob.
The unrest, which reportedly began on Tuesday over a dispute involving a shop, took a dangerous turn on Wednesday. Several police vehicles were ransacked, windows shattered, and the police appeared momentarily overwhelmed by the mob fury.
As the situation deteriorated, authorities imposed preventive measures under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and launched a crackdown to nab the rioters.
The Section empowers a District Magistrate or designated Executive Magistrate to issue urgent preventive orders to avert public nuisance or threats to public peace and safety.
"Raids are presently underway, and additional personnel remain deployed. Several arrests were made," another police officer said.
The West Bengal police later said normalcy had been restored, though the area continued to remain tense.
The incident sparked a strong political backlash with Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari staging a protest outside the West Bengal Police headquarters in Alipore, demanding the immediate deployment of central forces in the troubled area.
"The Hindu community in Rabindranagar has been subjected to looting, arson, and violence for hours while the police watched silently. Several police vehicles were set on fire, yet there was no effective intervention," Adhikari alleged.
He also claimed that DGP Rajiv Kumar refused to meet him.
"Despite such grave attacks on police, the top brass seems indifferent. I will move Calcutta High Court tomorrow seeking urgent intervention and central forces, as ordered earlier during communal tension in Murshidabad," the BJP leader said.
Adhikari was accompanied by several BJP MLAs, including the party's chief whip Shankar Ghosh, and a group of sadhus.
"Monks have received desperate calls from residents in the area seeking protection. This is a complete breakdown of governance," he said.
Echoing Adhikari's demands, BJP state president and Union minister Sukanta Majumdar alleged that the administration had failed to take preventive action.
"Despite knowing the culprits, the police acted against the victims instead of the aggressors," he alleged, accusing the state government of communal appeasement.
Both leaders also urged Governor C V Ananda Bose to intervene, alleging the incident reflected systemic administrative failure.
"The governor must step in to ensure constitutional order is upheld and justice is delivered to the affected Hindu community," Majumdar said, adding that places of worship in the area must be restored.
The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), however, rejected the allegations, saying the opposition was attempting to politicise a "local issue".
"All necessary steps have been taken to control the situation. The police acted swiftly and with firmness. The BJP is trying to give a communal colour to what was essentially a dispute over setting up a shop," said TMC spokesperson and state general secretary Kunal Ghosh.
Condemning the violence, Kolkata Mayor and senior TMC leader Firhad Hakim said, "We wish a speedy recovery to the injured police personnel. At the same time, we strongly condemn the BJP's attempt to communalise and politicise a sensitive issue." He alleged that the BJP's tactics were aimed at "disturbing the peace and harmony of Bengal" and urged all sides to act with restraint.
The police continue to maintain a heavy presence in the area as investigations are underway to identify and apprehend the miscreants involved in the violence.

Police in Kolkata faced violent clashes with teachers, leading to 19 injuries. The protest was against job losses after a Supreme Court ruling. Minimum force was used to evacuate trapped government employees safely.

19 Police Injured in Kolkata Teacher Protests

19 police personnel injured during teacher protests at Bikash Bhavan. The demonstration seeks reinstatement of jobs wiped out by a Supreme Court ruling citing recruitment irregularities. Minimum police force was employed to ensure safe evacuation.

Police in Kolkata faced violent clashes with teachers

19 police personnel injured in clashes with teachers at Bikash Bhavan. Police acted for safe evacuation, not protest suppression. Teachers demand reinstatement after SC ruling voided 25,753 jobs.

West Bengal Police on Friday said 19 of its personnel were injured, one of them seriously, during clashes with agitating school teachers outside the state education department headquarters in Salt Lake here, and a suo motu case had been lodged against persons identified as instigators of the unrest.
Talking to reporters, ADG (Law and Order) Jawed Shamim and IG South Bengal Supratim Sarkar said police had exercised maximum restraint for over seven hours on Thursday evening before taking action to assist government employees "trapped inside" Bikash Bhavan, the state education department headquarters.
"Nineteen policemen were injured, and one is serious. We have videos and evidence against those who instigated the agitation yesterday. We will take legal action against them," Sarkar said at Bhawani Bhavan, the West Bengal Police Headquarters.
He clarified that police intervention was solely to ensure the safe exit for government employees from the building, not to suppress the protest.
"The whole police action was only done to ensure that the government employees trapped inside Bikash Bhavan could come out and return home after an entire day&rsquo;s work. We have no intention to stop, alter, or disrupt the protest," Sarkar added.
ADG Shamim said, "Despite all the provocations &mdash; damaging government property, occupying premises &mdash; police exercised maximum restraint, respecting the emotions of the agitators," he said.
"We spoke to the agitators&rsquo; leadership and repeatedly requested them to allow the trapped employees to leave. There was even a pregnant woman inside. The employees were calling police in distress." As police attempted to assist those stuck inside, they were reportedly pelted with stones and plastic bottles, leading to a standoff.
"In that standoff, minimum force was used, and we ensured that those trapped inside were safely evacuated," he said, adding that there were 58 other departments, other than the education department, housed inside Bikash Bhavan.
The area around Bikash Bhavan had turned into a virtual battlefield on Thursday evening after a series of violent clashes broke out between protesting school teachers and police.
Police resorted to lathi-charge to remove the agitators, who laid siege before the government building.
Many teachers were injured in police action, which persisted for over an hour and in repeated phases.
The teachers, who lost their jobs following a court order last month that canceled thousands of appointments in government-aided schools due to irregularities in the recruitment process, had been staging a sit-in demonstration demanding reinstatement.
Last month, the Supreme Court invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and other staff in state-aided schools and termed the entire selection process "vitiated and tainted".

Mamata Banerjee blames 'outsiders' for Murshidabad violence

Mamata Banerjee blames outsiders for Murshidabad violence. Plans to visit in early May, offers compensation, and reconstructs homes for victims.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday asserted that &ldquo;outsiders&rdquo; were responsible for the violence that erupted in parts of Murshidabad over the Waqf Act, and said she would visit the troubled areas in the first week of May to evaluate the situation.
Banerjee also said her government would &ldquo;soon expose the conspirators&rdquo; behind the riots that took place in two wards of Dhulian in the district.
"The violence was unfortunate. We do not want riots. Some outsiders orchestrated it, but we will expose them and their conspiracy," she said at an administrative programme in Midnapore.
"I have promised the families of those killed in the violence to give a compensation of Rs 10 lakh each. We will also rebuild their houses under the 'Banglar Bari' scheme... I will be going there in the first week of May and evaluate the situation,&rdquo; Banerjee said.
Governor C V Ananda Bose had on April 19 met family members of a man and his son, who were killed during violence over anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act protests in Murshidabad district, and assured them of all possible support.
At least three people, including a father and son, died and over 280 have been arrested in connection with the violence earlier this month.

Families in Nagpur confront uncertainty as kin are caught in violent unrest. Irfan Ansari's critical condition highlights the chaos sparked by VHP demands.

Nagpur Violence: Families in Crisis

Relatives of Nagpur’s victims face uncertainty as loved ones lie in critical condition due to violence at a flashpoint protest over Aurangzeb’s tomb by VHP.

Nagpur Violence: Families struggle as hospitalized victims fight for survival

Nagpur families face uncertainty as loved ones suffer in hospital following violence due to a VHP protest demanding Aurangzeb's tomb removal.

Relatives of individuals from violence-hit areas in Nagpur are struggling to understand how their family members ended up in hospitals and are now battling for their lives.
Imran Ansari, a resident of Bade Nawaz Nagar, is in shock over the critical condition of his elder brother, Irfan Ansari.
Irfan, a welder by profession, left home around 11 pm on Monday, intending to board a 1 am train to Itarsi from the Nagpur railway station, an area that was heavily affected by violence, triggered by VHP&rsquo;s protest for the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb, situated in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
The family received a call from the Indira Gandhi Government Medical College &amp; Hospital (IGGMCH), informing them that Irfan had been admitted following an accident.
Imran told PTI on Tuesday that his brother suffered severe head wounds, and a fractured leg, and is currently in the ICU, receiving oxygen.
Despite the severity of the situation, the family has yet to file a police complaint as they remain focused on Irfan's treatment and remain unaware of what transpired during his journey to the station.
In a similar case, 17-year-old Raza Younas Khan, a 12th-grade commerce student, is fighting for his life at a private hospital.
Khan, a resident of Guard Line near Mominpura, was sent by his mother around 10:30 pm to buy milk and curd for the morning sehri. She later received a call at around 11:30 pm from IGGMCH, informing her that her son had been admitted to the hospital in critical condition.
His mother told PTI that her son had gone to purchase milk at nearby Hansapuri, also affected by violence. She received a phone call at around 11.30 am from IGGMCH that Khan was admitted to the hospital.
Khan was subsequently transferred to a private hospital, where he remains on a ventilator. His family is also unaware of the violent situation in their locality and is at a loss as to how their son sustained such serious injuries.
She said a Lakadganj police station official recorded his statement.
Violence erupted in central Nagpur's Mahal area on Monday around 7.30 pm, with stones hurled at police amid rumours that the holy book of a community was burnt during a VHP's agitation seeking the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.

Nearly 200 people in Haiti were killed in brutal weekend violence reportedly orchestrated against voodoo practitioners, with the government on Monday condemning a massacre of "unbearable cruelty."

Haiti Massacre: Gangs Target Voodoo Practitioners

Nearly 200 people in Haiti were killed in brutal weekend violence reportedly orchestrated against voodoo practitioners, with the government on Monday condemning a massacre of "unbearable cruelty."

Nearly 200 people in Haiti were killed in brutal weekend violence reportedly orchestrated against voodoo practitioners, with the government on Monday condemning a massacre of "unbearable cruelty."
The killings in the capital Port-au-Prince were overseen by a powerful gang leader convinced that his son's illness was caused by followers of the religion, according to civil organization the Committee for Peace and Development (CPD).
It was the latest act of extreme violence by powerful gangs that control most of the capital city in the impoverished Caribbean country mired for decades in political instability, natural disasters and other woes.
"He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and voodoo practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of sending a bad spell on his son," a statement from the Haiti-based group said.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the "horrific" violence, which his spokesman said left at least 184 people, including 127 elderly men and women, dead.
Calling the bloody episode an "act of barbarity, of unbearable cruelty," the office of Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime said "this monstrous crime constitutes a direct attack on humanity."
Both the CPD and UN said that the killings took place in the capital's western coastal neighborhood of Cite Soleil.
Reached by telephone by AFP, a resident confirmed the attacks and said that his 76-year-old father was among the victims.
"The bandits set fire to his body. The family cannot even organize a burial for him since we were unable to recover the body," he told AFP on condition of anonymity so as not to compromise the safety of other relatives.
"I also fear for their lives," he said. "I will try to get them out."
&nbsp;
- Taken to be 'executed' - &nbsp; "The gang's soldiers were responsible for identifying victims in their homes to take them to the chief's stronghold to be executed," the CPD said.
"Reliable sources within the community report that more than a hundred people were massacred, their bodies mutilated and burned in the street," it said.
One of the organization's leaders, Fritznel Pierre, told Radio Magik 9 in an interview that the number of casualties was not exhaustive, as the area was difficult to access.
He reported that henchmen had hunted down old people and voodoo followers living in the Wharf Jeremie section of Cite Soleil between Friday evening and Saturday.
"Motorcycle taxi drivers who tried to flee with targeted people were also executed," he said.
Voodoo was brought to Haiti by African slaves and is a mainstay of the country's culture. It was banned during French colonial rule and only recognized as an official religion by the Haitian government in 2003.
While it incorporates elements of other religious beliefs, including Catholicism, voodoo has been historically attacked by other religions.
Haiti has suffered from decades of instability but the situation escalated in February when armed groups launched coordinated attacks in the capital to overthrow then-prime minister Ariel Henry.
Gangs now control 80 percent of the city. Despite a Kenyan-led police support mission, backed by the United States and UN, violence has continued to soar.
The UN chief called on authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the weekend massacre and also reiterated calls for more international support to assist Haitian police in their battle against the gangs.
More than 700,000 people are internally displaced in Haiti, half of them children; added to this are 5,000 forced from their homes by the weekend massacre, said the International Organization for Migration.
The latest killings bring the death toll this year in Haiti to around 5,000 people, according to the United Nations.

A violent protest broke out in Dublin after a woman and three children were injured in a knife attack.

Violent protest breaks out after 3 kids injured in knife attack in Dublin

A violent protest broke out in Dublin after a woman and three children were injured in a knife attack.

Violent clashes broke out in central Dublin on Thursday evening, with vehicles torched and riot police attacked, after a five-year-old girl was seriously injured in a knife attack earlier in the day that also saw a woman and two other young children hospitalised.
Irish police said the girl was receiving emergency medical treatment in a Dublin hospital following the attack outside a school. Soon after that announcement, at least 100 people took to the streets, some armed with metal bars and covering their faces.
Police said over 400 officers including many in riot gear, were deployed in Dublin city centre to contain the unrest, which they said was "caused by a small group of thugs".
A police cordon was also set up around the Irish Parliament building, Leinster House, and officers from the Mounted Support Unit were in nearby Grafton Street.
There were clashes with riot police as some demonstrators let off flares and fireworks, while others grabbed chairs and stools outside bars and restaurants.
A number of police vehicles and a tram were damaged during the disorder, while a bus and car were also set on fire on the city's O'Connell Bridge.
Shop windows were routinely smashed and a Foot Locker store was looted. All public transport in the city -- trams and buses -- was suspended and many firms have urged their staff to work from home on Friday.
"We have a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology, and also then this disruptive tendency engaged in serious violence," said Ireland's top police officer, Drew Harris.
Police and politicians called for calm and warned against misinformation over the attack earlier in the day.
"The scenes we are witnessing this evening in our city centre cannot and will not be tolerated," said Justice Minister Helen McEntee. "A thuggish and manipulative element must not be allowed to use an appalling tragedy to wreak havoc." Earlier, police said a man in his 50s, who also was seriously injured, is a "person of interest" in their investigation. No other details about his identity were revealed.
At a press briefing in the evening, Harris was asked about a potential terrorist link, and he didn't rule it out.
"I have never ruled out any possible motive for this attack ... all lines of inquiry are open to determine the motive for this attack," he said.
That appeared to be a slight change in stance from earlier when Superintendent Liam Geraghty said police were keeping an open mind in terms of the investigation but were "satisfied there is no terrorist link".
A woman in her 30s also suffered serious injuries during the knife attack shortly after 1.30 pm. The two other children, a five-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, sustained less serious injuries. and the boy was discharged from a hospital.
Geraghty said at a media briefing that preliminary indications are that a man attacked a number of people on Parnell Square East.
He said that police believe that it was "a standalone incident, not necessarily connected to any wider issues that are ongoing in the country or in the city, and we need to identify the exact reasons for that happening".
Geraghty confirmed earlier witness reports that a knife was used in the attack, but he couldn't provide more details on the nature of the injuries. He also confirmed that witnesses sought to disarm the man as soon as they saw what was going on.
"My understanding is members of the public did intervene at a very, very early stage and we would applaud those members of the public for getting involved in such a traumatic and potentially dangerous situation for themselves," Geraghty said.

Leaders of the Hindu and Muslim communities in the eastern England city of Leicester presented a united front on Tuesday as they appealed for harmony in the wake of violent clashes following an India-Pakistan cricket match, which has led to 47 arrests.

“Our message to anyone that sows disharmony between us is clear: we will not let you succeed.

This is not acceptable nor upheld by our faiths,” the statement said.
“We are a strong family, we will work together to resolve whatever concern may arise — we do not need to call up any assistance from outside our city.

Days after a district school resumed classs, it was attacked in an apparent incident of stabbing which resulted in fatalities.
One minor was killed while another minor and a teacher were injured at an eastern North Carolina high school, police said.
Jacksonville Police Chief Mike Yaniero told reporters at a news conference that two minors were taken to Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune with injuries, and one later died. He said that the attack at Northside High School in Jacksonville appeared to be a stabbing but that the investigation was ongoing. He said that a teacher was also injured but not stabbed.
There was no ongoing threat to the public.
The chief said a school resource officer responded within about 20 seconds of receiving word of the attack around 7 a.m., and a student suspect was taken into custody. The attack happened inside the school in a common area, and many students witnessed the attack, the police chief said. He declined to release names.
A lockdown lasted until 8:45 a.m., after which the school began a dismissal process to release students to their parents. Nearly all students had left with their parents by the time police held a midmorning news conference.
All sporting events and activities have been cancelled, and Friday will be a virtual school day. School will resume in person on Tuesday.

Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi slammed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for signing an agreement with Pakistan on terrorism within months of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 while reiterating Centre's 'zero tolerance to violence' stand. 

'Anyone who uses a gun should be dealt with a gun': Tamil Nadu Governor 

"Anyone who uses a gun should be dealt with a gun": Tamil Nadu Governor 

Speaking on Kashmir, Governor Ravi said, "There is zero tolerance to violence. It may sound harsh but anyone who uses a gun should be dealt with a gun...There have been no talks with any armed group in the last 8 years, if only for surrender."&nbsp;

Reiterating India's 'zero tolerance to violence' stand, Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi slammed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for signing an agreement with Pakistan on terrorism within months of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.&nbsp;
Addressing a session on 'Contemporary Challenges to Internal Security' in Kochi on Sunday, the Tamil Nadu Governor said, "When the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks happened, the whole country was traumatised; the country was humiliated by a handful of terrorists. Within 9 months of the attacks, our then PM and Pakistan PM signed a joint communique stating both countries were victims of terrorism."&nbsp;
"Do we have Sathrubodh? Is Pakistan a friend or an enemy? That has to be clear. If you try to be in between, you have confusion," he added.&nbsp;
In 2008, 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists (LeT) carried out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks killing at least 174 people and leaving 300 wounded.&nbsp;
Speaking about the surgical strike as a befitting reply to Pakistan, he said, "After the Pulwama attack, we hit back at Pakistan in Balakot using our air power. The message was that if you commit an act of terrorism you will have to pay the cost."&nbsp;
According to him, India's internal security at present is better than what it was during Manmohan Singh's rule.&nbsp;
"During the time of Manmohan Singh, the serious threat to our internal security was the Maoist violence. They had spread to over 185 districts across central India. And people were even talking about the Red Corridor. The situation was alarming. Today, their presence is limited to less than 8 districts and that too at a much-reduced pace," he claimed.&nbsp;

"If you look at the instances of violence and cause of concern for the national security, you will see that there is a sharp decline. Neutralisation of the terrorists has been possible not because our system has improved dramatically, but largely because of people's cooperation. People have started rejecting the terrorists and cooperating with the system to normalise the situation."&nbsp;
Speaking on Kashmir, Governor Ravi said, "There is zero tolerance to violence. It may sound harsh but anyone who uses a gun should be dealt with a gun. No negotiation with anyone who talks against the unity and integrity of the country. There have been no talks with any armed group in the last 8 years, if only for surrender."&nbsp;
"In Jammu &amp; Kashmir, they have killed thousands of people and then Yasin Malik, a JKLF man will come to Delhi and he will shake hands with the Prime Minister. Hurriyat was the brain behind leading this. In the northeast, people killed hundreds of people and then we started talking to them and asked them to stop the violence. No negotiation, no talk with anyone who talks against the unity and integrity of our country.&nbsp;
"No question, no acceptance. It took time for the message to sink in. In the last 8 years, there has not been one negotiation, no talk with any of the armed groups. If it's a conversation, it is only for surrendering and rehabilitation, with no political content," stated the Governor.&nbsp;
Comments"In Maoist areas, there is an ideology, they don't believe in Constitutional parliamentary democracy. That's not acceptable. So there is no question of any negotiation or talk with the Maoists," he added.&nbsp;

In shocking visuals viral on social media, a woman was mercilessly beaten up by a man in Karnataka. The incident occurred in Vinayak Nagar in Bagalkote district on May 14.
The victim was Sangeetha, a lawyer, and the assailant was her neighbour Mahantesh. He was seen slapping and kicking her, even as witnesses stood mutely.
At one point, Sangeetha tried to defend herself with a stool, but had to drop it as the attack continued. The man was later arrested.
The cause of the assault was personal enmity over a civil dispute, according to the police. The two have been at loggerheads in the past too, with Mahantesh accusing Sangeetha of harassment as well.

Is India sending its soldiers to Sri Lanka amid unprecedented chaos in the island nation? Such rumours were "categorically" denied by the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka on May 11.
The High Commission said that "speculative reports in sections of media and social media" about India sending troops to Sri Lanka are incorrect and not in consonance with the Indian government's stand on the situation.
On May 10, India had said that it is "fully supportive of Sri Lanka's democracy, stability and economic recovery". While citing the help given to Colombo amid the crisis, Delhi said that it is guided by "the best interests of the people of Sri Lanka expressed through democratic processes".
On the same day, the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka had dismissed rumours that some members of the Rajapaksa family had fled to India.
Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as Prime Minister on May 9 after weeks of protest. However, his brother Gotabaya continues to remain President, despite growing opposition and outrage.
After Mahinda Rajapaksa's resignation, it was claimed the he had left his official residence 'Temple Trees', and taken refuge at a naval base in the port city of Trincomalee.
Meanwhile, clashes erupted between pro and anti-government groups. At least 8 people have died, and over 250 injured in the clashes. Vandalism and destruction of properties of ruling party leaders have also been reported.
The protests began around April 9, sparked by a severe shortage of essentials due to lack of foreign currency, which hit imports.

Following violent clashes in Punjab's Patiala, curfew was imposed in the city from 7 pm on April 29, to 6 am on April 30. Clashes occurred outside the Kali Mata temple in Patiala during an anti-Khalistan protest rally.
The march was being conducted by an outfit called Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray). It clashed with another group, some of whose members carried swords. At least four people were injured, including two police personnel.
Hours later, the group's leader Harish Singla was arrested by Punjab police for allegedly taking out the procession without permission, and instigating violence. Singla said he had planned the anti-Khalistan march to counter a "Khalistan Foundation Day" celebration on April 29 announced by Sikhs For Justice, a banned, pro-Khalistan group.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann called the clashes "deeply unfortunate". Mann said that he spoke to the state police chief and that peace had been restored.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that peace is most important in a sensitive border state like Punjab. During the recent elections, the Congress had accused the Aam Aadmi Party of encouraging separatist elements for electoral gain.
The BJP also slammed the AAP government. RP Singh said, "Arvind Kejriwal's party's government is in power in Punjab. It's their administerial, police, law and order failure. Aam Aadmi Party government knew that such talk was going on. They should have taken note, and stopped people from taking out rallies. But AAP government is busy taking action against their opponents. It's very dangerous that Khalistani elements are rising again in Punjab. And Punjab government is sitting silently."
