SAD leader Sukhbir Singh Badal urges election commission to take action against Manish Sisodia
Akali Dal
President
Sukhbir Singh Badal
has criticised Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia for instructing party leaders to use any means necessary to win elections in 2027. He has urged the
Election Commission
to take strict action against Sisodia for encouraging his party members to resort to violence to secure electoral victories.
In a social media post, Sukhbir wrote that the Aam Aadmi Party's true intentions are finally revealed. 'The mask has fallen. AAP's deceptions, lies, false promises, and dirty tactics—such as riots, violence, and money games—to cling to power in Punjab in 2027 have been shamelessly and openly admitted by their top leader, Manish Sisodia.'
He noted that AAP entered Punjab in 2014, and incidents of sacrilege began in 2015.
'With their own MLA convicted for the 2016 Malerkotla sacrilege, is there still any doubt in anyone's mind about who was behind those incidents? Their schemes to exploit Punjabis' religious sensitivities and fuel communal divisions for power are now openly admitted.'
Badal urged the public to recognise the threat posed by AAP. 'I call upon Punjabis to see through this dangerous game to set brothers against brothers in Punjab, especially among Sikhs, just to divide and weaken Akali Dal.'

He also appealed to the Election Commission for immediate action. 'I urge the Election Commission of India to take strict cognisance of Sisodia's highly provocative utterances and seek to have his bail cancelled (in the corruption case). In view of this brazen admission, the Aam Aadmi Party must be debarred in Punjab to save this sensitive border state from a repeat of the dangerous past. I also urge strict and prompt legal action against him for inciting fraternal bloodshed in Punjab,' Sukhbir wrote

Officials recover over 40 voter ID cards from garbage site near Union Minister's residence in MP; probe underway
Tikamgarh (Madhya Pradesh): A controversy has erupted after more than 40 voter identity cards were found abandoned near the official residence of Union Minister Virendra Kumar Khatik in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday. According to information, the voter ID cards were recovered from the garbage lying near the Union Minister's residence located in Civil Lines area in Tikamgarh district. Several of the cards were found to be charred, indicating a possible attempt to destroy them. Who exactly noticed the voter ID cards lying at a garbage site near the Union Minister's residence is yet to be ascertained as the investigation is underway. Sources told IANS that the Minister's representative Vivek Chaturvedi had informed the district administration about the finding. Chaturvedi also urged authorities to scrutinise whether the voter IDs had been misused in government health schemes. Upon receiving information, a team of the district administration reached the spot and the voter ID cards were seized. Officials said that many of the voter ID cards recovered from the garbage were either damaged or burnt. Officials also said that they are probing the possible misuse of these voter ID cards. Following the complaint, Collector Vivek Shrotriya ordered a comprehensive probe into how the cards surfaced near the minister's bungalow. Tehsildar Satyendra Singh Gurjar talking to media persons said, "Recovered voter ID cards would be submitted to the Election Commission's office and further investigation would be initiated accordingly." Gurjar further stated that the finding of the cards in such a condition raises serious concerns over their potential fraudulent use. Investigators are now working to trace the origins of the voter IDs, verify the identities linked to them and determine whether they were employed in any illegal activity. Notably, senior BJP leader Virendra Kumar Khatik, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Tikamgarh, is serving as Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment. He was in New Delhi as the Monsoon Session of Parliament is underway, sources told IANS.

But that is no justification for violence,' he was a hint of schadenfreude as the AAP leader referred to the BJP's treatment of AAP supremo and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. From taking 'sheesh mahal' jibes over opulent renovations to his official bungalow to accusing him of rampant corruption in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam, the BJP went after Kejriwal hammer-and-tongs at the slightest provocation.'The BJP should introspect, as it used to politicize every attack on Kejriwal ji while he was Chief Minister,' Dhanda added. Kejriwal, who has been slapped in public and had ink thrown at him on several occasions, also condemned the assault on Rekha Gupta.'In a democratic system, differences of opinion and opposition are acceptable, but there can be no place for violence,' he wrote on X. 'I am confident that Delhi Police will take appropriate action. I hope the chief minister remains completely safe and healthy.'Senior AAP leader Atishi echoed the sentiment. 'The attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is highly condemnable. In a democracy, there is space for dissent and opposition, but none for violence,' she said in a Hindi post on also called on police to take 'the strictest action' against those responsible and wished Gupta good health.- EndsMust Watch
