Chandigarh, November 10 — Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has objected to the reported presence of Haryana Police personnel inside Punjab’s Mohali district during the recent protest by Panjab University students, calling it a violation of state jurisdiction.
Warring said media visuals showing Haryana policemen deployed in Mohali to prevent protestors from reaching Chandigarh amounted to a “breach of Punjab’s territorial authority.” “This is unacceptable as they have breached the jurisdiction of Punjab,” he said in a statement.
The Congress leader urged the Punjab government to take up the matter formally with the Haryana government and register its objection. “The Punjab Police’s jurisdiction must be respected, and any interference by another state’s police cannot be allowed,” he said.
Warring linked the issue to what he described as “administrative overreach” by the central government and the Chandigarh administration in handling the Panjab University protest. He said the involvement of out-of-state personnel underscored how the matter had been mishandled.
He maintained that the incident called for accountability and restraint from both Chandigarh and Haryana authorities, warning that such actions risked “undermining the federal spirit and public trust.”
