Punjab AAP MLA Suspended After Criticizing Teacher Shortages in Government SchoolsPreviousNext

Punjab AAP MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana was suspended for alleged anti-party activities after publicly criticizing the party and government over teacher shortages in government schools. Maiserkhana, who claims his children attend government schools, expressed frustration over unaddressed vacancies despite raising concerns with party leaders, including Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The party denied the claims and accused him of indiscipline. Opposition parties highlighted the incident to question the ruling party's education policies ahead of upcoming elections.
