Punjab politician Khanna has attacked the AAP government, saying its promise of a corruption‑free state benefits only the vulnerable, and urged a CBI inquiry into the Rajbir Ghumma case.
Punjab political figure Khanna launched a sharp criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, arguing that its pledge of a corruption‑free Punjab is being applied selectively and mainly benefits the weaker sections of society.
He highlighted the ongoing controversy surrounding the Rajbir Ghumma case, asserting that the matter requires a thorough investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation rather than a state‑level probe.
Khanna’s statements, made in Jalandhar, reflect growing political pressure on the AAP administration to demonstrate transparency and accountability in handling high‑profile corruption allegations.
The demand for a CBI inquiry adds to the mounting calls from opposition leaders for an independent agency to examine the case details, which remain under scrutiny.
The AAP government has yet to respond publicly to Khanna’s accusations or the request for a central investigation.
