Pb has failed to provide security to religious figures:Bhattal

Former Punjab Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal today met Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale here and alleged the state government has failed in providing security to him and other religious figures.
She alleged that the law and order situation has stooped so low in the state that criminals have no fear of police now.
"This is a big failure on the part of Punjab Government," Bhattal said.
The security lapse is evident from the incidents like sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari about eight months back, attack on Mata Chand Kaur Dera Bhaini Sahib and now attack on Ranjeet Singh, she alleged.

She also expressed her concern over the recent acid attack on a woman in Jalandhar.
Bhattal said that SAD-BJP regime is a government of "false promises" and it "lacks" vision and "political will" to carry out economic reforms and security of people.
The former CM alleged that farmers too have not been paid their dues for their crop in mandis and they are attempting suicides due to their inability to run their family and pay off their dues.
"There has been no initiative by Government in paying the dues to farmers of Punjab who are forced to sleep in mandis," the Congress leader added.
