Punjab MLA Suspended by AAP After Raising Teacher Shortage Concerns
Punjab MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana was suspended by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after publicly raising concerns about teacher shortages in government schools, including those attended by his children. Maiserkhana accused the party leadership, including Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, of ignoring repeated requests to address the issue. The AAP denied these allegations, calling them false and citing party discipline. Opposition parties criticized the suspension, viewing it as an attempt to silence dissent ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
