Chandigarh, 17 December.
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana, Dushyant Chautala, has once again raised serious questions over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. Sharing a video on social media of the clash that took place on Wednesday at Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), Rohtak, Chautala asked the state government whether this is what law and order has come to in Haryana.
He said that miscreants entered the university premises in a bulletproof vehicle with the intention to attack, and demanded an answer from Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on how such an incident could happen. Chautala further stated that if the government truly intends to take action, it must begin by acting against those criminal elements who roam around in bulletproof vehicles.
The former Deputy CM said that the poor law and order situation in the state is no longer hidden from anyone. He added that frequent incidents of loot, robbery, murder and abduction have created an atmosphere of fear in Haryana, and now even educational institutions are no longer safe.
Chautala said that stone pelting and sticks were used in broad daylight inside MDU, and shockingly, a bulletproof vehicle even rammed into students. He said there was no one present to stop these miscreants. These horrifying visuals, he added, clearly show that there is no semblance of law left in the state and that criminal elements have no fear of the police.
Expressing concern, Dushyant Chautala said that the atmosphere of insecurity in the state is alarming, and they have been consistently demanding that Chief Minister Nayab Saini—who also heads the Home Department—take strict measures. However, due to the government’s failure to act decisively, Haryana’s law and order situation has completely collapsed.
The former Deputy CM said that the government must urgently fill the shortage of police personnel through new recruitments, and instead of indulging in hollow publicity, it must work on the ground to improve the current situation.
