“This has now become the norm in Punjab as the criminals are having a field day”, he said, while asking Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to take the issue of law and order on priority basis.

“Punjab is sliding into anarchy and lawlessness, please act before it is too late”, Warring told Mann, saying now is the time for him to prove his worth.

“When people are not feeling safe about their life, what else can you offer them” he asked.

“Does anything like law and order prevail in Punjab? Is this the model you promised,” he further asked.
