Punjab Opposition Demands Resignation as Viral Video Stirs Legal Battle

SGPC member Bhagwant Singh Sialka has formally advocated for an FIR against the Chief Minister, warning that the alleged misconduct threatens to destabilize the state. Sialka is pushing for gubernatorial intervention, suggesting that constitutional frameworks may require updates to handle such executive crises. Simultaneously, Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi has ratcheted up the pressure, calling for Mann to step down entirely.

Mann maintains that the video is a political hit job designed by the BJP, Congress, and the Shiromani Akali Dal. He asserts that forensic evidence contradicts the claims made in the footage, urging the public to scrutinize the source of the misinformation. The situation has moved into the legal sphere, with Gurugram Police registering an FIR against suspects accused of circulating falsified forensic reports. Two individuals remain in custody as authorities continue to investigate the origins of the digital content.
