On Tuesday night, twin explosions rocked Punjab, occurring in Jalandhar and Amritsar, close to military installations. The first blast, caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) near the Border Security Force headquarters in Jalandhar, shattered windows and damaged infrastructure. The second explosion in Amritsar involved a grenade attack on an army camp, although no casualties were reported. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann (Aam Aadmi Party) accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating these blasts as part of their election strategy, claiming they aim to instill fear and disrupt peace in Punjab. Mann described the incidents as minor and politically motivated, asserting that the state government would not allow any disruption of harmony. In response, BJP leaders criticized Mann's remarks, claiming his government is failing to ensure security and is colluding with anti-national forces. Punjab's Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav contradicted Mann, suggesting that the blasts may be linked to a conspiracy involving Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), with foreign handlers radicalizing local youth to execute such attacks. Opposition leaders have called for Mann's resignation, citing a collapse of intelligence and the potential threat to public safety and the state's economy.
