Welcoming the extended jurisdiction of the BSF in Punjab, he said, “There is good coordination of the Punjab Police with the BSF and both have strengthened second line of defence together. Extended jurisdiction is helpful for the BSF in curbing the criminal elements including smugglers”.

Responding to a query on Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, he said, “Dharam Parchar and freedom of speech and expression by anyone is welcome, but there should be no glorification of the weapons. Violation of law will be taken seriously”.
