I want to ask him whether the leaders of his own party, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who recently came to Moga for a rally, are from Kotkapura. Those who themselves are running Punjab\u2019s politics at the directions of Delhi have no moral right to label others as outsiders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe real discomfort of the BJP and leaders like Sunil Jakhar is that today Punjab has a government of the Aam Aadmi Party, a government that represents the sons and daughters of ordinary families. They are unable to digest how a common person can sit in power and serve the people. Whatever poison they spread through such statements is well understood by the people of Punjab, who know very well who the real patrons of drugs and corruption have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu further stated, \u201cThe Congress party had given Sunil Jakhar respect and entrusted him with significant responsibilities. But when he could not remain loyal to them, how can he be loyal to Punjab and Punjabiyat. A person who could not stay committed to his previous party and ideology is now pretending to safeguard Punjab\u2019s interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by targeting the BJP on key economic issues, stating, \u201cOn the issues of farmers and commission agents, it is the BJP-led central government that has deliberately complicated matters. To divert public attention from its failures and anti-Punjab policies, Sunil Jakhar is now resorting to lies and protests. The people of Punjab will not be misled by such deceptive demonstrations and false statements anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those taking directions from Delhi have no right to call others \u2018outsiders\u2019: Baltej Pannu* Chandigarh News (4 April 2026): In Amritsar, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab State Media In-Charge Baltej Pannu responded strongly to remarks made by Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar, questioning the intent and political consistency behind such statements while defending Punjab\u2019s self-respect [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":57096,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
