Congress Leader Bajwa Faces Legal Action Over Explosive Bomb Claims in Punjab

Bajwa's statement about 50 bombs in Punjab, with 18 allegedly exploded, has led to an FIR, legal summons, and intensified political clashes over national security concerns.

Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa claimed in a TV interview that 50 bombs had entered Punjab, with 18 already exploded and 32 unexploded, citing confidential sources.
Punjab Police booked Bajwa under non-bailable charges, including providing misleading information that endangers national security, and summoned him for questioning.
Bajwa has refused to disclose his sources, asserting his constitutional role and citing past warnings from intelligence contacts about potential threats to his safety.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has demanded Bajwa clarify the origins of his claims, raising concerns about potential links to external entities like Pakistan.
A Mohali court directed police to provide Bajwa’s counsel with a copy of the FIR, while Congress leaders accused the AAP government of intimidation and announced protests.
