Supreme Court Rules No Evidence of Punjab CM Mann Exhorting 2020 Protesters

The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday dismissed claims that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had exhorted a crowd during a protest in 2020. The court found no credible evidence supporting the allegation that the CM used his position to rally the demonstrators. The decision follows a petition filed by opposition parties seeking clarification on the CM’s alleged remarks. The court’s ruling clarifies that the matter is closed and no further action is required. The ruling is expected to ease political tensions surrounding the 2020 protest.
