Political bias across 2 sources
● Left 70%● Center 20%● Right 10%

The articles primarily present the viewpoint of Punjab Congress leaders criticizing the Aam Aadmi Party's response to the Akal Takht's declaration against CM Mann. The coverage highlights opposition perspectives challenging AAP's credibility and actions, while reflecting AAP's defense through reported claims. The framing centers on political contention between Congress and AAP without extensive representation of AAP's detailed rebuttal.

Sentiment — Negative (30/100)

The tone across the articles is predominantly critical, focusing on Congress leaders' negative remarks about AAP's defense strategy and questioning the authenticity of forensic reports. The sentiment reflects political dispute and skepticism, with limited positive or neutral elements, emphasizing confrontation and accusations rather than conciliatory or explanatory language.
