On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy, which was heading towards a poll rally in the Punjab convoy, was stranded on a flyover due to blockade by the protesting farmers leading to an alleged serious security breach.

Ever since then, BJP leaders, as well as opposition parties including AAP and Shiromani Akali Dal have been condemning the Congress government in Punjab for jeopardizing the PM’s security.

While the Congress party, including CM Charanjit Channi, expressed regret over the incident and formed a committee to probe the matter, a BJP delegation met the governor on Thursday and demanded suspension of Punjab’s Home Minister and DGP.

The party also rejected the committee saying those who are involved in the conspiracy cannot deliver justice.
