AICC communication in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala alleged that Haryana has become a stronghold of gundaraj and organised crime.

“There is a breakdown of law enforcement in the state. It is the utterance of the hooligans and the chaotic elements. The Khattar Government is responsible for this environment. There should be a fair investigation of the murder of Vikas Chaudhary”, Mr Surjewala tweeted.
