Security Breach That Triggered a Political Row: What Forced PM Modi to Cut Short Punjab Visit on Jan 5?

News 18  

It was a time span of just 15-20 minutes that proved to be a hot potato for the then Congress government in Punjab on January 5, 2022. As photos of a desolate flyover and worried security officials guarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cavalcade went viral, what followed was not just demand for an explanation from the Charanjit Singh Channi Sarkar but a political war of words between the BJP and Congress and the issue reaching the doors of the Supreme Court. The MHA added that the prime minister “proceeded to travel by road after necessary confirmation of necessary security arrangements” by the Punjab DGP. Such is the state of administration in Punjab that a security run, a protocol that is to be followed by the state, was dismantled so that the Prime Minister could be brought to harm.” Her colleague Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said: “The Congress government of Punjab conspired to stop the Prime Minister on the road. Internal security is compromised.” Matter reaches Supreme Court In January, the Supreme Court appointed a committee, headed by former Supreme Court Judge Justice Indu Malhotra, to probe if there was any criminal conspiracy in the incident and also probe the role of Punjab Police officers.
