On Monday, Congress leaders and workers in Mohali protested against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, alleging intimidation, lawlessness, and misuse of power. The protest, led by former Punjab health minister Balbir Singh Sidhu, began in Sector 78 and aimed to reach the office of MLA Kulwant Singh in Sector 79. However, police intervened and halted their march, prompting the protesters to stage a demonstration and chant slogans. Sidhu accused the AAP government of engaging in vendetta politics and suppressing dissenting voices, claiming that the police were being misused to target political opponents. To symbolize public rejection of the AAP ahead of the upcoming assembly polls, protesters scattered brooms on the road. Sidhu expressed that the public was disillusioned with the government's performance and unfulfilled promises. He also condemned the arrest of a Congress worker and criticized the police's priorities, alleging selective enforcement. Additionally, he denounced the baton charge on PSPCL employees in Patiala. Sidhu warned that if the politics of intimidation continued, the Congress party would initiate a statewide agitation.
