Rohtak (Haryana) [India], February 17 : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Media Incharge Anurag Dhanda hit out at the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini-led Haryana government over the state's law and order situation following the killing of a young man in Rohtak.
Speaking to ANI about the incident, Dhanda said, "Across the whole state, the situation is terrifying. It seems the Chief Minister has gone on leave, leaving his position, and gangsters, drug traffickers and criminals have seized it. The whole state is living in fear right now about who knows when someone might get shot."
Referring to the Rohtak firing, he added, "Yesterday, in the Rohtak incident, some people shot a person 25 times. In such a situation, you can imagine how safe the lives of ordinary people are."
Dhanda further alleged that criminals were operating without fear. "The criminals are absolutely fearless. Yesterday, they committed a murder, and then they claimed on social media that they had committed it. This means that criminals don't fear the government at all," he said.
Earlier, on Monday, a youth identified as Dinesh alias Goga, a resident of Nizampur, was shot dead outside a private hospital on the Delhi Bypass, one of the busiest intersections in the city. According to police, two unidentified assailants arrived on a scooter and fired 15 to 20 rounds at the victim, who died on the spot.
