Punjab CM opposes Centre decision to extend BSF jurisdiction

Punjab has opposed the Centre's decision to extend the jurisdiction of the Border Security Force to a 50 km belt along the international border in Punjab, West Bengal and Assam. Earlier, the BSF's jurisdiction was a 15 km belt along the border.The order suggests that the BSF can arrest, carry out searches and make seizures over a region where its powers could clash with those of the state police in Amritsar, Tarn Taran and Pathankot. Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi lashed out at the decision as he came under attack from his own party . 

Punjab Deputy Chief Minister S Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa also issued a statement criticising the Centre's move and asking Amit Shah to withdraw the decision. He said that this "illogical" decision was absolutely against the spirit of the raising of border guarding forces, which are required to focus on the international border and act as the first line of defence.Congress leader Sunil Jakhar criticised Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi over the development.

Former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh backed the Centre's decision via a tweet posted by his media advisor Raveen Thukral.

Opposition parties, including the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), criticised the Centre's decision.
