Former Punjab BJP president and senior party leader Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, alleging that the latter would have to face the consequences of disrespecting Sikh religious sentiments and challenging the authority of Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
Security agencies intensified vigil in Punjab and Delhi after anonymous emails threatened attacks on CM Bhagwant Mann, BJP offices and party leader Sunil Jakhar.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident and a search is on to nab the attacker.
He is nephew of BJP state unit chief Sunil Jakhar
A former Punjab Congress president, who left the party in May 2022 after a five-decade association of his clan, Jakhar, a Hindu Jat, is expected to help the party shed its image of an urban party in the state.
Days after the Congress' disciplinary panel recommended his suspension from the party for two years and removed him from all posts, former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar on Saturday announced his decision to quit the party.
AAP condemns Congress’s behaviour towards Jakhar and hopes Congress will act as a responsible political party in these elections, he added.
In the video that has gone viral, Jakhar, who is chairman of the Congress campaign committee, is heard saying in Punjabi that he has no complaints
Reacting to the AG's ouster following Sidhu's pressure, Jakhar in a tweet said, "The ouster of a competent yet 'allegedly' compromised officer has exposed a 'really' compromised CM." "Giving rise to a pertinent question - Whose government is it anyway?"
There is certainly something more than what meets the eye, the Congress leader said, adding that incidents of recent months point towards a concerted bid to paint the farmers' struggle as one particular community and create divisions between Sikhs and Nihangs.
