Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and workers staged a protest in Ludhiana on Saturday against the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) over an allegedly fake video of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann that went viral on social media. The demonstration took place at Bhai Wala Chowk, with party members accusing the opposition of deliberately attempting to damage Mann's reputation through false propaganda.
Protest Details
The protest saw participation from the entire AAP leadership in Ludhiana, including MLA Madan Lal Bagga, Ashok Prashar (Pappi), Kulwant Singh Sidhu, Rajinderpal Kaur Chhina, Sarabjit Kaur Manuke, K.N.S. Kang, District President Jatinder Singh Khangura, District President (Rural) Tejpal Singh Gill, Lok Sabha Incharge Sharanpal Singh Makkar, Mayor Inderjit Kaur, Deputy Mayor Rakesh Prashar, Ajinder Pal Kaur, Women's Wing District President Manisha Kapoor, Vijay Danav, Sahil Agarwal, Nidhi Gupta, Golu Bajwa, Paramveer Prince, and Aman Mohie.
Allegations Against Opposition
