- On Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party national general secretary Tarun Chugh served a defamation notice to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, demanding withdrawal of statements linking the party to recent bomb blasts and a public apology within seven days.
- Bhagwant Mann alleged Tuesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party orchestrated low-intensity explosions near security installations in Jalandhar and Amritsar as 'preparation' for next year's Assembly elections.
- Served through counsel Sanket Gupta, the notice requires Mann to retract his statements; Chugh accused the Chief Minister of pursuing a 'political agenda' contrary to findings by the Punjab Police.
- While the Punjab Police points toward Inter-Services Intelligence and foreign networks, Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu challenged Mann to register a case if proof of the allegations exists.
- Describing Mann's allegations as 'defamatory' and 'dangerous,' Chugh warned that such claims create 'confusion, mistrust and social unrest' in Punjab, imperiling national security and insulting faith vested in the party by the Indian populace.
