Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accused the BJP of spreading hate with an edited video of former Delhi minister Atishi, claiming it falsely added the word 'Guru' to her statement. Mann stated a forensic examination confirmed Atishi never used the term and alleged the BJP is deliberately inciting religious hatred in Punjab. He also addressed allegations regarding the missing saroops case and his upcoming appearance before the Akal Takht, asserting his government's commitment to communal harmony.
