Bhagwant Mann Rejects Desecration Allegations as Political Smear

The Chief Minister argued that his adversaries, unable to counter his policies in the legislative arena, have resorted to character assassination. During a press conference, Mann reaffirmed his reverence for the Sri Akal Takht and accused the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee of applying double standards. He specifically questioned why the committee remains silent regarding the actions of political figures such as Sukhbir Badal while targeting him.

Mann claims to have identified a key manipulator behind the dissemination of the video and promised to release evidence exposing the orchestrators. He maintains that opposing factions have formed an illicit coalition to undermine his administration by leveraging religious sentiment. Despite the mounting pressure, the Chief Minister vowed to bypass these attacks by continuing direct engagement with his constituents to clarify the facts.
