Senior Punjab Congress leader, former MP, and Cabinet Minister Vijay Inder Singla, alongside other senior Congress leaders, addressed media personnel in Chandigarh today, delivering a scathing indictment of the AAP government. Congress leaders declared that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has lost all moral authority to remain in office and must step down immediately. 

The party leadership asserted that nothing can be more shameful and deeply damaging for the state of Punjab than a sitting Chief Minister facing serious allegations of sacrilegious conduct and subsequently using the unbridled power of his high office to orchestrate a criminal cover-up.

Unveiling a series of scathing attacks, Congress leaders revealed that immediately following the supreme Temporal authority Sri Akal Takht Sahib’s categorical order on June 15 regarding the viral video, senior Punjab Police officers were dispatched to Gurugram with state funds to secure a favorable, manufactured forensic report. 

A ₹10 lakh deal was struck with a private forensic laboratory to dismiss the truth and shield the Chief Minister from public and religious accountability. The leadership emphasized that the undeniable seriousness of this conspiracy is now a matter of public record, evidenced by the criminal FIR registered by the Haryana Police for illegally coercing a cyber expert into fabricating a forensic report in favor of Bhagwant Mann.

Congress leaders further stressed that this sordid episode has now become a definitive litmus test for the integrity of the Punjab Police. The recently enacted, stringent Beadbi law cannot be reduced to a selective tool used only to penalize ordinary citizens while leaving the Chief Minister completely immune to scrutiny. 

The party demanded that the case under this newly enacted law must be registered against Bhagwant Mann for his sacrilegious conduct. Concluding the address, Congress leaders warned that Punjab is now plunged into an unprecedented constitutional crisis where a sitting head of state stands accused of manipulating police machinery for personal immunity, making it a fit case for his immediate removal. 

The leaders issued an uncompromising appeal to the entire global Guru Nanak Naam Lewa Sangat to completely boycott this "Guru Dokhi" Chief Minister who has desecrated the state's holiest institutions.Congress leaders unanimously demanded the Chief Minister's resignation, an impartial investigation, and strict action against the officials allegedly involved.
