New Delhi : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia extended warm wishes to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on the occasion of his 52nd birthday on Friday. "Heartfelt birthday wishes to my dear friend, the commander of Mission Rangla Punjab, Chief Minister @BhagwantMann ji. I pray to God that your dream of making "Rangla Punjab" a reality comes true. The future of Punjab rests on your strong shoulders. May God keep you healthy, happy, and full of energy, and may you continue to serve the people of Punjab as Chief Minister for a long time, he wrote on the social media platform X.
Meanwhile, Bhagwant Mann on Saturday called for justice in the wake of the alleged suicide of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, urging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central and Haryana governments to "speak with the bereaved family, respect their sentiments and ensure justice is delivered."
Speaking to reporters after visiting the late IPS officer's residence and meeting his family, the Punjab Chief Minister said, "The family is demanding justice. I request the Chief Minister of Haryana and the Central Government to stand with this family. You can't disregard the law to protect one person. No one is above the law. Justice should be done."
Earlier in the day, CM Mann visited the residence of Y Puran Singh in Chandigarh. IPS officer Y Puran Kumar allegedly died by suicide on October 7 at his residence in Chandigarh. In a 'final note' reportedly left behind, he accused eight senior police officers, including Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, of "blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities."
