Explosion outside Amritsar temple causes panic; police suggest ISI links



Punjab Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said two suspects have been identified.Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann acknowledged repeated attempts to disturb peace in the state.“There are constant efforts to create unrest in Punjab through drugs, gangsters, and extortion. However, Punjab remains peaceful. During Holi, other states witnessed lathi charges during processions, but such incidents did not occur here. The law and order situation is under control,” Mann said.BJP national spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla criticized the Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, condemning the Amritsar temple attack and alleging a decline in law and order since AAP took power.Poonawalla claimed that a series of grenade attacks have taken place across the state, including some targeting police stations.”Ever since the Aam Aadmi Party came to power, the law and order situation has deteriorated… These grenade attacks have occurred in a chain, with some even targeting police stations… Meanwhile, the police are preoccupied with protecting Arvind Kejriwal,” he told ANI on Saturday.The Thakurdwara Temple blast follows an incident at the Golden Temple on Friday, where an assailant attacked people with an iron rod at the Shri Guru Ramdas Sarai lodging facility, injuring at least five people.(With inputs from ANI)
