Chandigarh, March 5: The G20 Summit scheduled in Amritsar is likely to be cancelled due to security concerns, sources said on Sunday. According to sources, the decision was taken due to a recent violent clash between Amritpal Singh’s supporters and Punjab police in Amritsar’s Ajnala.
However, there is no official confirmation of the cancellation of the international event.
Meanwhile, the opposition parties have described the cancellation of the G20 summit as embarrassing for Punjab.

Congress MLA from Bholath, Sukhpal Khaira, took to Twitter on Sunday and said: “If news of the cancellation of G-20 Summit in Amritsar is true its a major setback for PB as our reputation as a safe haven for investment will be trashed apart frm loosing national & international reputation! @BhagwantMann needs to set his house in order & not take orders from Delhi”
Member of Parliament from Amritsar Gurjeet Singh Aujla, taking to Twitter, said, “Dear @PMOIndia Sh @narendramodi & @AmitShah, conspiracy to exclude Sri Amritsar Sahib from #G20 hosts list became known when national channels started highlighting Amritpal. This is suggestive of utter failure of intel & law enforcement agencies.”
“@HMOIndia & @CMOPb @BhagwantMann your poor grip over law & order is noticed well by anti-India elements pulling strings of hoax creaters and it is getting exploited. @MEAIndia Punjab is a safe state & can host #G20Summit. Do not push Punjab into another era of darkness,” he added.
