AAP MLA Raman Arora Rejects Police Security Amid Jalandhar Bhajan Event Dispute

AAP MLA Raman Arora, shortly after his security was restored, stated on social media that he did not require police protection amid controversy over the cancellation of a bhajan event in Jalandhar. The police initially barred the programme citing security concerns after a recent blast, leading to protests by BJP and Congress leaders demanding the event proceed. Organisers and supporters alleged internal party rivalry aimed to hinder the event, while police eventually permitted it following opposition protests.
