With the Opposition criticising the AAP-led Punjab government over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state following singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala's murder, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that the state has now got an honest government and that gangsters were born in the state under previous governments.

"I ask the Opposition, has Mann Sahib brought gangsters with him? These gangsters were born under previous governments. No one can protect gangsters and anti-national elements," said Arvind Kejriwal backing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Kejriwal was in Jalandhar to launch the luxury bus service from Jalandhar to the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi.

"Patiala clashes accused were caught within 24 hours. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi arrested by Punjab Police," the Delhi Chief Minister said. According to him, the AAP-led Punjab government in the last three months has achieved tasks that previous governments could not achieve despite years of being in power.
