Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann appeared in court today as his bail in a defamation case was revoked, intensifying political turmoil in the state. The court issued a summons, marking a significant escalation in the legal proceedings against the CM.
According to sources, 29 MLAs were absent from the session, raising questions about potential instability in the Mann government. The case stems from remarks made by the CM, which the court deemed defamatory, leading to the revocation of his earlier bail.
Separately, the Sikh community has challenged the anti-sacrilege law in the High Court, while oil prices have surged past $126 per barrel, adding to economic pressures.
Political analysts say the court's decision could have far-reaching implications for the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab.
