BJP MP Ravneet Singh Bittu countered Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's statements regarding a letter sent by the Enforcement Directorate, rejecting the CM's political framing of the issue.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann recently commented on a letter dispatched by the Enforcement Directorate, suggesting that political narratives were being used to dismiss the agency's actions. His remarks sparked a swift reaction from opposition leaders who accused the CM of politicising a law‑enforcement matter.
In response, BJP leader and former Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu publicly rejected Mann's interpretation, stating that political commentary cannot invalidate the facts presented in the ED correspondence. Bittu emphasized that the agency's communication should be examined on its own merits rather than being reduced to partisan rhetoric.
The exchange highlights the growing tension between the state government and the central opposition over the handling of enforcement investigations in Punjab. Both sides appear poised to continue the debate in the legislative arena, with the ED letter remaining a focal point of scrutiny.
