BJP national spokesperson RP Singh says Punjab working president Ashwani Sharma could have been the target. He posted on X: “A shocking and deeply concerning development — a bomb blast outside the BJP Punjab office in Chandigarh. What makes this even more serious is that @AshwaniSBJP, state BJP Working President, had been present at the same office for the last two days and had just left for Delhi for a political programme.“Notably, just 15 days ago, he was cautioned by the SSP of Pathankot to suspend his morning walks due to a specific threat perception. Whether there’s any link between that warning and today’s blast is a matter for investigation, but the coincidence can’t be ignored.”This isn’t just about one leader or one party office. It raises serious questions about security, intelligence coordination, and the overall law and order situation in Punjab. Those responsible must be identified and brought to justice at the earliest. There can be zero tolerance for such acts of terror,” the post read.
