Punjab Congress Protests Against AAP Government Over Governance and Law IssuesPreviousNext

Punjab Congress workers, led by Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, staged protests against the Aam Aadmi Party government, criticizing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's administration over alleged corruption, law and order issues, and a drug menace. Police used water cannons to disperse protesters attempting to approach the Chief Minister's residence. Warring demanded the arrest of Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, linking him to a suicide case, and accused the government of failing on multiple fronts, including education and debt management.
