Serious Questions Raised Over Punjab SC Commission Action: Manoj Singh Bhatti Calls It an Attempt to Suppress Democratic Voice

Amritsar (Rural): Chairman of the Scheduled Caste Department of the Indian National Congress (Amritsar Rural), Manoj Singh Bhatti, strongly objected during a press conference to the action taken by the Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission in summoning senior Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa.

Bhatti termed the move as unjustified and politically motivated, stating that such action has been initiated at a time when the opposition is actively exposing the failures of the government. He emphasized that constitutional institutions are meant to deliver justice, and if they are used for political purposes, it raises serious concerns for the democratic framework.

He alleged that the government is adopting pressure tactics to suppress the voice of the opposition. Bhatti further clarified that if there is any objection regarding a statement or issue, a fair and transparent inquiry should be conducted. Summoning a leader without thoroughly examining the facts, he said, goes against democratic norms and principles.

Chairman Manoj Singh Bhatti reiterated that the Punjab Congress Party firmly stands with its leaders and workers and will strongly resist any form of political vendetta.

Concluding his address, Bhatti said, “In a democracy, raising one’s voice is not a crime but a right. Truth can never be suppressed.”

I, Manoj Singh Bhatti, Chairman of the Scheduled Caste Department (Amritsar Rural), sincerely urge all leading television channels, digital media platforms, and newspapers across Punjab to take this issue seriously and provide fair and responsible coverage.

We invite all reputed media organizations to review and report on this matter:

We believe that responsible journalism plays a vital role in highlighting public safety concerns and ensuring accountability in governance.

The voice of the people must not go unheard.
