Haryana DSP's murder: Bhupinder Hooda attacks CM Khattar; says 'Govt entirely responsible'

Former Haryana CM and current Leader of Opposition in the state's assembly Bhupinder Hooda, while speaking to Republic Media Network, urged the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government to take action against the assailants who mowed down and killed Haryana DSP Surender Singh. Tauru DSP Surender Singh was crushed to death by the illegal mining mafia who mowed him down near Nuh's Pachgaon in Gurugram on July 19. The DSP died on the spot and his body was found in an open dumpster, speaking on which Hooda claimed that the Sand Mafia in Haryana is totally out of control. 

Lauding the previous Congress regime when he was the CM, Bhupinder Hooda stated that there was no illegal mining during his time as the grand-old party had stopped all the illegal mining business. Attacking the saffron party, Hooda said that BJP is responsible for the death of the DSP and it seems there is no government in Haryana. He further added that only corrective action by the government will bring back people's faith in law and order.

LoP Bhupinder Hooda said, "Government is entirely responsible for this incident.  Government should take serious note of the incident and take corrective steps. There was no such illegal mining during the Congress regime. Congress had stopped all illegal mining."

No Law in Haryana: Deepender Singh Hooda

Four-time MP and senior Congress Leader Deepender Singh Hooda also attacked the BJP government claiming that there is no law and order situation in the state. Further, he asked Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar to take responsibility for the DSP's murder. He further added that a funeral procession of the law and order situation has been taken out in Haryana under the Khattar government and hence the CM should take responsibility for the situation. 

Deepender Singh Hooda said, "Funeral procession of Haryana's law & order has been taken out. State Govt has completely failed & criminals are roaming around-both mining mafia & organised gangsters. Organised crime has entered Haryana. The mining mafia is showing its ugly face. Unfortunate that 5 Haryana MLAs received life threats in the past 10 days and Government is neither able to find out culprits nor provide a safe environment for MLAs. CM should take up responsibility and issue a White Paper on the state's law and order."
