In what came as a surprise to the political fraternity of Punjab. the state government on Tuesday withdrew the official security cover of Jalandhar Central MLA Raman Arora. Jalandhar Central MLA Raman Arora is from the Aam Aadmi Party, and AAP is also the ruling government. The move has raised questions, as no formal reason was provided by the authorities for the withdrawal.
Speaking to the media, MLA Raman Arora confirmed the development. “The government had initially provided me with security, and now the same government has taken it back. I was informed by the security personnel today that they received a call instructing them to return immediately,” Arora stated.
The MLA refrained from speculating on the reasons behind the decision, stating only that the matter lies with the government. So far, no official statement has been issued by the Punjab government regarding the rationale behind this action.
