The topic of the order learn, “Regarding the security arrangements during the arrival of the Hon’ble Chief Minister”.
The order itself learn, “Regarding the subject matter, it is written to you that whenever the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab has a function program in your district, during the arrival of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab, on the way, two difference organisations would raise their voice. Slogans are raised. Therefore, in the future, whenever the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab, has a function/program in his district, a DJ should be posted at the place where 2 different organisations are protesting their demands. If Gurbani Shabad/religious songs are played in, then their voices should not be heard”.
Essentially, the order says that the police commissioners will merely play Gurbani actually loud so the voices and slogans of protesting lecturers are drowned out when the Chef Minister visits.
The order, first shared by Jhakar, was then shared by Amit Malviya, BJP chief, as effectively. He questioned the Punjab CM and requested why he couldn’t speak to the protesting lecturers as a substitute of drowning their voices out.
