After questioning Bajwa, AIG Grewal told the media that the police team had arrived to determine the source of Bajwa’s information, as it was a matter of national security. She added that they did not receive satisfactory answers.“The statement made by Partap Bajwa was a very sensational statement and we needed to question him over it. So far, he has not given any input useful to us,” she said.Daring the CM Mann to register a case against him, Bajwa said that if that happened, it would be nothing but a political vendetta by the CM.“I want to tell all of Punjab that I hold the constitutional post of LoP, and my primary task in that position is to aid the government. We have seen difficult events in the past in Punjab. My sources provided me with information that there are 50 bombs in Punjab, 18 of which have been used. My sources are in Punjab, in the state government, and in central agencies as well,” Bajwa said.“They told me that the situation is worsening and wanted to warn me, as my family is also a victim of terrorism. I also faced a terrorist attack in Batala during the days of terrorism. I have heard Bhagwant Mann’s statement. As Home Minister, he has failed to maintain law and order in the state,” he added.Bajwa stated that he cooperated with the state police but refused to reveal the source of his information. “I was also called by a top police officer who asked me if some officers could be sent to ask me for my statement. They asked me for the source of my information, and I told them I cannot reveal my source,” he said.Defending Bajwa, Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring remarked, “What is wrong about what Partap Bajwa has said? He has simply stated that blasts are taking place and more will occur. Why did Punjab Police intelligence fail to prevent these attacks?”
