The Punjab Assembly passed a resolution condemning Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa for remarks against Cabinet Minister Harbhajan Singh, which were perceived by ruling AAP members as casteist and insulting to the Dalit community. Bajwa denied any casteist intent. The motion, moved by AAP MLA Manjit Singh Bilaspur, highlighted the dignity of band performers and daily-wage laborers. Congress legislators boycotted the session, calling the motion a diversionary tactic. The resolution called for Bajwa's public apology and disciplinary action.
