Punjab Assembly session: Monsoon session likely to be stormy affair as oppn set to target govt over anti-sacrilege law, paper leak
This Assembly session is expected to be stormy, with heated debates likely. Opposition parties, including the Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), and the BJP, are preparing to corner the government over several key issues, including law and order, the proposed law on sacrilege of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, paper leak cases, the drug menace, farmers' concerns, and the state's rising debt.
PTC News Desk: The seven-day monsoon session of the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha will begin on Monday, and the proposed changes to the anti-sacrilege law are expected to trigger a confrontation between the ruling government and the Opposition. As this is likely to be the last Assembly session before the Punjab elections early next year, the issue is expected to dominate proceedings because of its religious and political importance ahead of the 2027 polls.
The Opposition is also set to question the AAP government over the recent paper leak in Faridkot and similar incidents, alleging irregularities in the recruitment process.
Apart from this, the Congress, BJP and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) are expected to corner the government over Punjab's rising debt, alleged financial mismanagement, flood preparedness, worsening law and order, and shortcomings in policing.
