State BJP president Kaur Singh Dhillon criticised the government’s insensitivity over the Jhoota murder case and pledged to wear a black turban until the case is resolved.
Punjab’s Bharatiya Janata Party state president, Kaur Singh Dhillon, publicly declared that he will continue to wear a black turban as a symbol of protest until the Jhoota murder case receives a verdict. In a recent statement, Dhillon accused the incumbent state government of remaining indifferent to the demands for justice in the case.
He said the black turban is intended to amplify the call for a fair investigation and to keep the issue in the public eye. The leader emphasized that the community’s patience is wearing thin and that sustained pressure is essential to compel the authorities to act.
Dhillon’s pledge comes amid growing frustration among opposition parties and civil society groups, who have repeatedly demanded a transparent inquiry. No further details about the case or any official response from the government were provided at the time of his remarks.
The BJP’s stance underscores its broader strategy of highlighting perceived governance failures in Punjab, positioning the party for upcoming political contests.
