Channi: Ludhiana bomber has link to Akali leader Majithia, sacrilege bid

Ludhiana/Chandigarh: After a bomb blast in the Ludhiana district courts complex left one person dead and six injured, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Thursday said as the Assembly polls are drawing near, some anti-national forces are trying to spread anarchy in the state.

Channi termed the alleged sacrilege bids and the Ludhiana blast a “big conspiracy”.

“As the elections are nearing, some anti-national and anti-state forces are trying to commit such disgusting acts and for this, the government is alert and people should also be alert,” he said.

He also sought to draw a parallel between the registration of an FIR against Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia, the blast and the recent alleged sacrilege bids.

He questioned as to why such a horrendous incident took place only after Majithia was cornered by the law. —(PTI)
