Punjab AAP MLA Criticizes BJP-Akali Government Over 2015 Beadbi and Police Firing Cases
Punjab AAP MLA Manwinder Singh Giaspura accused the previous BJP-Akali government of failing to protect the sanctity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, citing the 2015 theft and subsequent beadbi incidents. He questioned former Home Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal's claimed ignorance of these events and alleged political motives behind the proposed BJP-Akali alliance, linking it to protection in ongoing cases and farm law issues. The AAP government has introduced stricter laws on beadbi and remains committed to accountability. Sukhbir Badal's recent absence from a probe hearing intensified political tensions.
