Daylight Assassination Unfolds
In a shocking turn of events, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Lucky Oberoi was fatally shot outside the Gurdwara Sahib in Jalandhar's Model Town area. The
incident occurred around 7:55 AM as Oberoi was parking his vehicle. Gunmen, arriving on a two-wheeler, approached his car and unleashed a barrage of gunfire from close range. Tragically, five bullets struck him, and despite being rushed to the hospital, he was declared dead shortly thereafter. The brazenness of the attack, occurring in broad daylight near a place of worship, has sent ripples of fear and disbelief through the community and political circles.
Political Outcry and Safety Concerns
The brutal murder of Lucky Oberoi has ignited a fierce political debate, with opposition leaders sharply criticizing the current state government's handling of law and order. Partap Singh Bajwa, Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Legislative Assembly, took to the social media platform X to express his dismay. He unequivocally stated that law and order has completely collapsed under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's administration, highlighting that even ruling party members are not safe. Bajwa further elaborated that Punjab is currently plagued by fear, gang violence, and administrative paralysis, demanding accountability from the Chief Minister for this severe breakdown. Echoing similar sentiments, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also condemned the incident, reiterating the complete collapse of law and order and labeling the AAP as a 'Paap' (sin) for Punjab.
