Chandigarh, Dec 4 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday patted the Punjab Police for foiling a "deep rooted conspiracy to defame" the stateby vigilantly preventing an attack on Akali Dal leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal at Amritsar.
Interacting with media persons on the sidelines of dedicating the ‘Nishan-e-Inquilaab” plaza here, he condemned the attack in the strongest terms and said there is no place for such dastardly acts at a sacred place like Harmandir Sahib.
Mann said the state government had already deployed around 175 cops apart from the senior officers to prevent any untoward incident. He said this produced the desired result as a "conspiracy to bring bad name" to the state was foiled by the Punjab police, who were keeping an eagle eye around Harmandir Sahib.
