The Aam Aadmi Party has responded to the Congress party’s comments on the suicide case of Punjab labourer Gulzar Singh, calling the remarks unfounded.
New Delhi – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) issued a statement countering remarks made by the Indian National Congress regarding the recent suicide of a Punjab labourer identified as Gulzar Singh. AAP officials said the Congress narrative was misleading and detracted from the real issues faced by workers in the state.
The party emphasized that the tragedy highlights systemic problems in labour welfare and called for a thorough investigation rather than political point‑scoring. AAP urged the state administration to address the grievances of daily‑wage earners and ensure adequate support mechanisms.
Congress, which had earlier commented on the incident, was urged by AAP to refrain from politicising the loss of a life and to focus on constructive solutions. The exchange underscores the ongoing political rivalry between the two parties in Punjab.
No further details on the circumstances of Gulzar Singh’s death have been released, and both parties have called for calm while the matter remains under investigation.
