Guilty Will Face Strict Punishment
Condemning the attack as a cowardly act, Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak stated that the sacrifice of the martyrs would not go in vain. He said the Martyr ASI Gurnam Singh Tribute is also a pledge to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice under the strictest provisions of law.
Highlighting the swift response of the Punjab Police, Bhullar informed that all accused were traced and arrested within 24 hours. He added that this action underlines the state’s zero-tolerance policy against crime, gangsterism, and drugs.
Warning Against Cross-Border Conspiracies
Referring to security challenges, Kataruchak alleged that hostile elements backed by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, have repeatedly attempted to destabilize Punjab. He asserted that such conspiracies would never succeed on Punjab’s soil and that the Martyr ASI Gurnam Singh Tribute stands as a reminder of the state’s resilience.
He also appealed to the youth of Punjab not to fall prey to divisive tactics or anti-national influences, emphasizing that Punjab’s unity and brotherhood must remain intact.
Opposition Criticized for Politicizing Incidents
AAP Working President and Batala MLA Aman Sher Singh Sherry Kalsi criticized opposition parties for allegedly politicizing tragic incidents. He questioned why leaders who quickly comment on social media during crises remain silent when police achieve swift breakthroughs.
According to Kalsi, the Martyr ASI Gurnam Singh Tribute symbolizes not only respect for the fallen officer but also the government’s unwavering stance on maintaining law and order in the border state.
Commitment to Peace and Security
The Punjab Government reiterated its commitment to preserving peace and harmony across the state. Ministers stressed that any attempt to disturb Punjab’s stability will be dealt with firmly and decisively.
The Martyr ASI Gurnam Singh Tribute thus stands as both a mark of honor for the fallen hero and a clear message that Punjab remains united against forces seeking to disrupt its peace.
