The Punjab BJP orchestrated a protest in Amritsar on Saturday, targeting the AAP government after the suicide of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, an official with the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation. Allegations of harassment by the Transport Minister were brought to light, prompting calls for justice.
Punjab BJP leaders, including state president Sunil Jakhar and national general secretary Tarun Chugh, demanded a CBI investigation into Randhawa's death. They rallied against the AAP government's handling of the case and accused it of providing preferential treatment to the minister involved.
Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu and working president Ashwani Sharma echoed these demands, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency. The protestors criticized the current law and order situation, highlighting the family's distrust in local investigations.
