A recent grenade attack at the Jalandhar residence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manoranjan Kalia has raised concerns in Punjab, with this being the 22nd such incident in the state since September. The attack has prompted investigations into possible connections with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Two individuals, Zeeshan Akhtar and Shahzad Bhatti from Pakistan, have been arrested in connection with the attack. The incident has also resulted in the dismissal of Punjab’s intelligence chief as authorities work to uncover any potential links to external terrorist groups. The attack on the BJP leader’s residence highlights the ongoing security challenges faced in the region, with authorities stepping up efforts to address the growing threat of terrorism. It underscores the need for heightened vigilance and cooperation among security agencies to prevent such incidents in the future and maintain peace and stability in Punjab.
