"I urge @HMOIndia to order an inquiry into how and who leaked the confidential list of people whose security was withdrawn by @AAPPunjab Govt @ArvindKejriwal and @BhagwantMann are responsible for the brutal killing of #SidhuMoosewala whose security was withdrawn yesterday," Sirsa said. Former Chief Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, meanwhile, slammed the decision to strip the security detail as a 'cheap populist decision'.
"CM also must honestly think if the cheaply populist decision to withdraw Moosewala's security is directly responsible for the tragedy. After all, he faced a tangible threat to life. This is no time for political point scoring but someone must take responsibility for the situation," he said. In an earlier tweet, Badal had noted "This is an extremely somber and critical hour, requiring all of us to exercise restraint and statesmanship. On his part, CM must reflect deeply on why Punjab under him has drifted into anarchy with a total breakdown of law and order."
