BJP Leaders Blocked in Punjab Amid Dispute Over Gulzar Singh's Death
In Punjab's Toor Banjara village, BJP leaders led by Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon faced opposition while attempting to meet the family of Gulzar Singh, whose death has sparked political controversy. Villagers reportedly prevented BJP leaders from entering, expressing anger over perceived political exploitation. Conversely, BJP accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers of blocking their convoy and alleged police inaction, framing it as suppression of opposition voices. Both parties criticized each other amid heightened tensions over the incident.
