Sikh Protests in Ambala and Farmer Leaders' Electoral Challenges in PunjabPreviousNext

Recent events in Punjab and Haryana highlight tensions involving Sikh communities and farmer leaders. In Ambala, police used lathicharge and tear gas to disperse Sikh protesters demanding the release of arrested youths linked to a dispute at a gurdwara, raising concerns about BJP's outreach to Sikhs. Separately, farmer union leaders who entered Punjab's 2022 assembly elections under the Sanyukt Samaj Morcha alliance failed to secure seats, reflecting challenges in translating protest momentum into electoral success.
