JAGARAON (LUDHIANA), November 1: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today said that gang wars have already started in Punjab with various gangs competing with each other to gain supremacy, while the Punjab Police and the government are watching as silent spectators.

Warring, who is also the local MP, met the bereaved family of the kabbadi player Tejpal, who was killed in broad daylight on Friday near the SSP’s office here. The PCC president expressed sympathies with the bereaved family assuring all help and support.

Later talking to reporters, the PCC president said that the family was inconsolable, as it had lost its only son.  “The Punjab Police, the Punjab government and the Chief Minister should feel ashamed that they cannot protect the life of innocent and helpless people”, he remarked.

Warring expressed grave concern over the mushrooming of the criminal gangs across Punjab which have started killing people with all impunity. He said, such extent of fear did not prevail even during the era of terrorism in Punjab.

He observed that the criminal gangs seem to have entered into a bloody competition with each other to kill people and gain supremacy so that they can extract and extort maximum ransom. He pointed out that criminals and gangsters now have the audacity to kill people in full public view and then own these killings without any fear of law.

The PCC president warned that these ominous happenings will have a disastrous impact on the progress of Punjab which was already derailed. He expressed strong apprehensions that with such incidents having become a routine, the industry was worried, as they are not feeling safe anymore.

Warring said even now the Punjab Police and Punjab government seem to be callously indifferent and unconcerned as if nothing has happened.
