Political Reactions Emerge Following Gulzar Singh's Death in PunjabPreviousNext

The death of Gulzar Singh, a Dalit daily wager from Sangrur, has sparked political controversy in Punjab. The state government formed an SIT and booked five individuals under relevant laws, while Punjab Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO criticized Congress for politicizing the tragedy. In response, Congress launched the 'Main Vi Gulzar' campaign to support the victim's family and demand justice. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused opposition parties of politicizing the case and defended its ministers amid allegations linked to the incident.
