SAD leader Sukhbir Badal blames CM Bhagwant Mann for activist's killing

Sukhbir Singh Badal accused Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann of failing to maintain law and order after anti-drug activist Parwinder Singh was murdered in Mansa.

The president of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Sukhbir Singh Badal, held Bhagwant Mann directly responsible for the death of anti-drug campaigner Parwinder Singh, known as Jhota. Badal said the AAP government had let law and order collapse in the state. The killing occurred in Mansa, Punjab, prompting political tension between the two parties. Badal's remarks highlight growing criticism of the ruling party's security policies.
