aap-stages-protests-in-mohali-against-lop-partap-singh-bajwa

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers held a protest in Mohali targeting Punjab Leader of Opposition and Congress MLA Partap Singh Bajwa, following his controversial statement on national television claiming that "50 bombs have reached Punjab." 

According to Bajwa, 18 of these bombs had already been used, while 32 were still to be used. The statement sparked outrage and led to legal action. Punjab Police reached out to Bajwa seeking information about the source of his claims, but he reportedly refused to divulge any details, prompting the registration of an FIR against him.

An AAP protester accused the Congress party of attempting to shield Bajwa, pointing out that while Congress staged its own protest on the same day alleging political vendetta by the AAP-led state government, the real issue was Bajwa’s explosive statement.

The protester questioned whether the Congress stood with the people of Punjab or was indirectly supporting terrorism by defending Bajwa. The protester insisted that Bajwa must either explain the origin of his information or issue a public apology, warning that legal action would otherwise continue.

The Punjab Congress, however, dismissed the FIR as a politically motivated move. Congress leaders claimed the case was driven by revenge politics orchestrated by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring criticized the speed and manner in which the FIR was filed, describing it as a clear act of personal and political vendetta. He said that the CM had shown undue enthusiasm and influence in pursuing the case, further reinforcing their belief that the action was taken out of spite.

Despite the backlash, Bajwa defended his remarks, stating that he had been alerted by a source concerned for his and his family’s safety. He explained that his source warned him of a possible threat and urged him to remain vigilant, especially given his high-profile position.

Bajwa maintained that the information about the alleged bombs was passed on in good faith and with the intention of highlighting potential risks to public safety, rather than creating panic or controversy.
