Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP leader Raghav Chadha Meet President Murmu in Delhi Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP leader Raghav Chadha arrived in Delhi on Monday to meet President Droupadi Murmu. The delegation, comprising nearly 90 AAP legislators, traveled in three Volvo buses. Mann emphasized the need for legal safeguards against political dissent, stating that no five individuals should be allowed to claim the party’s split. He criticized the use of legal threats and security measures to suppress dissent, accusing the BJP of leveraging state machinery to target AAP leaders. Chadha, who had recently resigned from AAP, accused the party of engaging in retaliatory politics after his departure. He alleged that AAP leaders who left the party faced harassment, including fabricated FIRs and threats of legal action. Chadha claimed that the party’s actions were akin to “revenge politics” and warned of escalating tensions. He highlighted the disparity in power between AAP, which controls only one state, and the BJP, which governs 21 states, suggesting that AAP’s survival in Punjab is uncertain. Chadha also criticized the government for using agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to intimidate critics. He cited examples of targeted actions against former AAP leaders, including Harbhajan Singh Bhaggi, whose family was allegedly harassed, and Rajinder Gupta, whose factory was raided by the Punjab Pollution Control Board. Chadha claimed that Gupta’s legal battle against the raid was ongoing, with a court order temporarily halting punitive actions. Security measures for the AAP leaders were also a point of discussion.#president_droupadi_murmu #punjab_cm_bhagwant_mann #aap_leader_raghav_chadha #enforcement_directorate_ed #central_bureau_of_investigation_cbi
