Cow dung dumping case: Capt orders withdrawal of try to homicide cost, shifts SHO; BJP fumes

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday ordered dropping of Section 307 (try to homicide) from the FIR towards protestors who dumped cow dung outdoors BJP ex-minister Tikshan Sud’s home.
Amarinder, who holds the Home portfolio, additionally ordered switch of the SHO who had registered the ‘attempt to murder’ case, which is now being probed by a Special Investigative Team .
In an announcement, the Chief Minister mentioned that the SHO had gone overboard in registering a case beneath Section 307 of the IPC. “There was no attempt to murder,” he mentioned, referring to the Hoshiarpur incident, wherein a bunch of protestors had unloaded a trolley stuffed with cow dung in entrance of former Punjab minister Tikshan Sud’s residence.
BJP condemns firming down of FIR
Expressing deep concern over the style wherein BJP leaders and staff had been being focused and threatened with bodily hurt, senior BJP management hit out at CM Amarinder Singh for firming down of the FIR towards those that threatened BJP chief Tikshan Sud in Hoshiarpur.
National General Secretary of BJP Tarun Chugh, former Union minister Vijay Sampla and former state BJP president Tikshan Sud attacked Capt Amarinder Singh over altering of Section 307 within the FIR.
“How much more blatant can the Chief Minister of a state get? Capt Amarinder has not only got the section in FIR against attackers of Tikshan Sud changed but has also transferred the concerned SHO for doing his job. Na khata na bahi, jo Captain kahe vo hi sahi (All records are useless, only what Captain says is right),” mentioned Chugh.

The senior BJP chief mentioned the nationwide management of the social gathering may be very perturbed on the method wherein a free hand has been given to anti-social components to assault social gathering workplace bearers and staff within the garb of farmers’ protest.
“On one hand the Chief Minister is allowing the Punjab Police to remain mute spectators and aid and abet the anti-social elements to run amok in the state and if the police does its job for a change then the SHO is transferred. Am I then wrong in saying that urban naxals are running riot in Punjab,” requested Chugh.

Reacting to the event, Tikshan Sud mentioned every thing that had occurred with regard to the assault on his home and now the choice to vary the sections used within the FIR was stage managed by the state authorities.
“Everything is stage managed by the government. I do not get any fun out of getting FIRs registered against anyone. The persons who had come to my house had tried to run over a BJP worker with their tractor. The SSP at the time had said that said he was satisfied with the proof he had seen and only then was the FIR registered. That day Amarinder had given statement that such actions should not be done,” mentioned Sud.
Sud mentioned the state authorities was not performing towards those that had been creating legislation and order issues. “Punjab is being pushed into dark ages. Separatist slogans were used when the incident took place at my house. Our commitment is for peace in Punjab. All this will not only cost the Congress, but Punjab also. It is not individuals like me who matter. There are so many things happening against me which I do not want to comment upon,” mentioned Sud.
Former Union minister Vijay Sampla mentioned that now it has been confirmed that the deterioration in legislation and order and the assault on Tikshan Sud had been orchestrated by the Punjab authorities beneath Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.
“The state government is supposed to maintain law and order. But the reverse is happening in Punjab, The opposition is respecting the law and order while the ruling party is hell bent on spoiling it. Their MLAs were also saying that they are the ones who are getting everything done in Punjab with regard to protests. Now it is proven that Captain is getting it done,” mentioned Sampla.
Sampla added that Congress authorities was conspiring towards peace in Punjab. “Earlier Congress was doing this in a hidden manner now it has come out in the open,” he mentioned.

CM defends singer’s arrest
The Chief Minister, in the meantime, termed as appropriate the arrest of Punjabi singer Shree Brar for selling gun tradition in a music video. Promoting gangsterism and gun tradition on this method was completely incorrect, he mentioned, including that the case had been registered appropriately within the matter which associated to an previous track of the singer.
Amarinder made it clear that the arrest had no join with the singer’s video in help of the protesting farmers, which in reality was considerable. However, his good work now couldn’t condone the destructive impression of his previous track encouraging youth to choose up weapons, he mentioned. Noting that Punjab was a border state going through ongoing threats from throughout the border, the Chief Minister mentioned: “We will not allow the state’s peace to be disturbed in any manner” which such acts had the potential to do.
