Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal has attacked the Punjab government while posting on X. He wrote, 'Punjab is drenched in blood under the 'zero fear' government of Aam Aadmi Party. The situation is so bad that now even your leaders are not safe in their own government. The murder of Aam Aadmi Punjab leader Lucky Oberoi in broad daylight outside a Gurudwara in Jalandhar is proof of this.
Sukhbir Singh Badal further wrote, 'After 9 murders in the first week of the year, about 25 murders have taken place in January 2026 alone. These are happening everywhere, be it a court complex, a busy market, a wedding venue or outside Gurdwara Sahib. Bhagwant Maan, you are not worthy of staying on the chair even for a day.
