Punjab BJP wants all-party meeting on law & order situation

Punjab BJP chief Vijay Sampla today wrote to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, requesting him to convene an all-party meeting on the law and order situation in the wake of killings of right-wing leaders in the state.
"Ever since the Congress has come o power in Punjab, the law and order situation in the state has worsened day-by-day.
"The manner in which people associated with a particular ideology, a specific religion and class are being killed, suggests that some powers are hell bent on spoiling the communal harmony and peace in the state," Sampla said in a statement here.
Referring to the killings of Hindu Shiv Sena district chief Vikram Sharma in Amritsar, RSS leader Ravindra Gosain and a church priest in Ludhiana, he said these incidents pointed to something "which is a matter of serious concern for us".

"All these killings indicate that some powers are trying to derail peace in Punjab," he said, adding that "these incidents are a somber reminder of the ghastly past".
