Selja claimed the situation in Haryana was so bad that even the public representatives were not safe.

"MLAs receiving threats one after the other is proof of the collapsed law and order in the state," she alleged.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda claimed the law and order situation in the state had deteriorated so much that the common man was feeling threatened.

"In the last few days, at least three MLAs have received threats," he said.

"It seems as if the government has given up. Apart from enjoying power and carrying out new scams, the coalition parties are not concerned with anything," the Leader of the Opposition in the state alleged.
