Lucknow, May 6 (PTI) SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the Punjab twin blasts, saying that he should be held responsible for the incidents.
Yadav’s remarks came hours after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann triggered a political row by blaming the BJP for the explosions.
Talking to reporters, Yadav said, “If a blast has taken place, then who should be held responsible? It should be the country’s home minister.” The former UP chief minister further said that the probe into the Punjab twin blasts would meet the same fate as Pulwama and Pahalgam, claiming that it was never known how it happened.
“And you will never get the information on the blast (how it happened). Did you get to know about Pulwama or Pahalgam? When you did not know about Pulwama and Pahalgam, you would also not know about Punjab blasts,” he said.
On Tuesday night, Punjab was rocked by explosions outside the BSF’s Punjab Frontier headquarters in Jalandhar around 8 pm, and another near the Army cantonment area in Khasa, Amritsar, around 11 pm.
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said that the blast was a low-intensity explosion and that no injuries were reported.
The DGP said that while no group has claimed responsibility, he suspected that Pakistan’s ISI might be behind the incident. PTI ABN ABN KSI KSI
