The @PMOIndia of a major power stuck on a flyover for close to 20 minutes. The head of Govt of India stranded in our own country.
Those responsible for this should hang their heads in shame. They have let #India down.
You may or may not have voted for @narendramodi, he is our PM ImageImage
This is collapse of law & order if a road cannot even be sanitized for the @PMOIndia in our own country in a sensitive border state.
This is not about insulting *Punjabiyat* or people of a state. Must probe where the system failed that Prime Minister's security was `compromised'
India is a democracy. Not a mobocracy & certainly not anarchy. In the name of protests we have seen military convoys heading to our sensitive & live borders being stopped. In the name of protests the @PMOIndia cavalcade has been stranded. Protests cannot & should not derail India

Govt sources: Jan 1 & 2 there was a ASL (security liasion) discussed `in detail' road journey from Bathinda to Ferozpur. Road survey & Vulnerable pints to be secured discussed. Even sabotage possibility & strong deployment discussed. contingency reheaesal for road journey on 4th
SPG discussed with DGP road journey. Only after getting clearance, @PMOIndia's cavalcade moved. The convoy was piloted by SSP but PM's motorcade not informed about blockade by protesters (For close to 20 minutes PM of India was stranded on a flyover. Was this not serious breach?)
Govt sources: SPG Blue Book very clearly demarcates responsibilities. SPG protects the @PMOIndia and it is the responsibility of the State administration & police to secure the venue, road, helipad & other VA/VPs. Responsibility of the DGP to implement SPG rules for security.

Baseless charges are being leveled, says @rssurjewala. 10,000 police personnel had been deployed for @PMOIndia rally. Entire route had Punjab & Haryana police deployed. PM was to travel by helicopter. Not road route. Last minute plan to go by road to Hussainiwala & rally Bhatinda
Congress says last minute decision to travel by road. Police could not say no to @PMOIndia & hurried arrangements made. Some farmers decided to protest on the road to press for their demands. Should police have shot those farmers who blocked the PM's route? No crowd for PM rally.
Punjab CM @CHARANJITCHANNI regrets the incident. Says he was to receive & accompany @PMOIndia but could not as officials close to him had tested #Covid_19 positive. Fin Min Manpreet Badal welcomed PM @narendramodi at Bathinda. Till 3 am we removed agitators from the road. IB knew

MHA calls it a SERIOUS SECURITY LAPSE.
MHA statement: Today morning PM Narendra Modi landed at Bathinda from where he was to go to National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter.Due to rain and poor visibility, PM waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out.
``When the weather did not improve, it was decided that he would visit the National Marytrs Memorial via road, which would take more than two hours. He proceeded to travel by road after necessary confirmation of necessary security arrangements by the DGP Punjab Police.''
Around 30 kms away from National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when Prime Minister’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protestors. PM was stuck on a flyover for 15-20 minutes. This was a major lapse in the security of the Prime Minister.

Dragon huggers in India...
Listen to @AmbVPrakash on the challenge posed by peddlers of Chinese agenda in #India.
Indian democracy used against India as #China uses PsyOps.
Should Govt respond? Nip it in the bud?
From
#Doklam to #Galwan India must counter Chinese mind games asap.
Important to beware!!!

China uses local laws, pressure groups (brainwashed &/or paid?), 'democratic institutions' to its advantage.
China failed in #Doklam. China has not succeeded in eastern #Ladakh to brow beat us.

INDIA 🇮🇳 MUST STAND UNITED TO DEFEAT CHINA's 🇨🇳 EVIL AGENDA.
India 🇮🇳 did QPQ Operations dominating China's Moldo garrison forcing China to withdraw from certain friction points. There are other aces up India's sleeve forcing China to build rapidly & construct a bridge on PangongTso (Aksai Chin is Indian territory too) #India should object

Old saying: Way to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Some advocating removal of #AFSPA as a 'goodwill' gesture, same ecosystem advocated removal of #AFSPA even in valley before 2016 violence.
Keep #AFSPA, ensure it is not misused by anyone.
Probe & act in a transparent manner.
Some are passing judgment without all facts being in public domain. Let facts emerge, including details of intelligence inputs & operations.
Did vehicle not stop when directed to? Did occupants flee when challenged? Let Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe reveal all facts 1st.
In the past reported forces being removed from pockets of 'south Kashmir' as a 'goodwill gesture.' There were headlines too. But soon terrorists exploited the vacuum & more soldiers were killed trying to reestablish rule of law in those pockets.
Goodwill gestures wont bring peace
