Moga , November 14, 2013: BJP Kisan Morcha National Secretary Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has demanded a high level-inquiry into the serial blasts near the prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi rally.
He condemned the Bihar state government of not making proper security arrangements for the party Hunkar rally.
In a press statement here today, Grewal rejected Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar claim that there was no input from the state and central intelligence on the blasts, adding security should have been strengthened in anticipation of a large turnout. He said after visiting the injured in hospital that there were inputs from security and intelligence agencies before the serial blasts in Bodh Gaya, but the terror attack could not be prevented. Grewal said the Bodh Gaya serial blasts and arrest of Indian Mujahideen Co-founder Yasin Bhatkal in Bihar in the past three months were reason enough for the Bihar state government to arrange proper security for rally.
He claimed that Narendra Modi, a public person with a high threat perception, was not provided an SUV with a capacity to withstand an explosion, when a demand was made for it. He said that Modi alleged that district officials were casual after the first blast at the Patna railway station, while senior officials were unaware about it. He said that in spite of that, the Bihar state government failed to increase security measures for the rally.
Grewal demanded a high-level inquiry into the serial blasts near the prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi rally. He said the violence has no place in democracy. He said everyone has the right to reach out to the people anywhere in our country.
