Chandigarh:
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday hit out at the BJP apparently over the issue of the Centre’s ordinance on transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi, alleging the entire party “could have been hanged” if there was a provision for punishment in the Constitution for “murderers of democracy”.
His remarks came a day after the Centre promulgated the ordinance to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for transfer of IAS and DANICS cadre officers and disciplinary proceedings against them.
This came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services, excluding those related to police, public order and land, to the elected government in Delhi.
