Partap Singh Bajwa, the Leader of Opposition in the Punjab assembly, has called for the immediate dismissal of Sanjeev Arora, a minister embroiled in a serious money laundering case. Bajwa criticized Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for failing to uphold the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) commitment to honesty and accountability, stating that the repeated allegations against AAP leaders undermine the party's claims of clean politics. He emphasized that Mann's inaction would suggest that AAP's promises of zero tolerance for corruption are mere political rhetoric. Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira echoed this sentiment, stating that AAP's retention of ministers facing serious allegations is unprecedented in India's political history. In response, AAP spokesperson Neel Garg accused the opposition of playing into the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) hands and highlighted the low conviction rates of cases involving central agencies, questioning the credibility of the investigations. The situation reflects a growing concern over political accountability in Punjab.
