Harbhajan Singh Shares Videos Criticizing Punjab AAP Government Amid Authenticity Questions

Analysed 20 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Fatehgarh Sahib, India·Politics
Harbhajan Singh Shares Videos Criticizing Punjab AAP Government Amid Authenticity QuestionsPreviousNext

Former cricketer and BJP MP Harbhajan Singh has criticized Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party government by sharing videos highlighting poor school toilet conditions and villagers' grievances in Fatehgarh Sahib and Ludhiana districts. One video shows a dilapidated girls' toilet lacking water and a roof, while another captures villagers confronting an MLA over drug issues and infrastructure. However, the school video was later identified as from 2018, prompting criticism of Harbhajan for sharing outdated content. The Punjab Police clarified a previously shared drug-related video was from Rajasthan, not Punjab.
