On the other hand, the opposition parties have termed the cancellation of the G20 summit as disappointing for Punjab. Bholath MLA Sukhpal Khaira tweeted, “Our reputation as a safe haven for investment has been tarnished. On the other hand, Member of Parliament Gurjit Aujla said that the poor grip of the Punjab government on law and order has been exposed.
Khaira said that If news of cancellation of G-20 Summit in Amritsar is true its a major setback for PB as our reputation as a safe haven for investment will be trashed apart frm loosing national & international reputation! Bhagwant Mann needs to set his house in order & not take orders from Delhi
Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla wrote in a tweet, “Dear @PMOIndia Sh @narendramodi & @AmitShah , conspiracy to exclude Sri Amritsar Sahib from #G20 hosts list became known when national channels started highlighting Amritpal. This is suggestive of utter failure of intel & law enforcement agencies.”
He said,” @HMOIndia & @CMOPb @BhagwantMann your poor grip over law & order is noticed well by anti India elements pulling strings of hoax creaters and it is getting exploited.
@MEAIndia Punjab is a safe state & can host #G20Summit
Do not push Punjab into the another era of darkness. “
