In a tumultuous session of the Punjab Assembly, a heated argument erupted between Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Congress MLA and Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa following the Governor's address, which was allegedly interrupted by the Opposition. The confrontation escalated over the demand for the appointment of a Dalit Deputy Chief Minister, a promise purportedly made by the ruling party. Congress MLA Sukhwinder Singh Kotli, representing the Dalit community, expressed his community's indignation, stating they would not forgive the insult and vowed to protest daily. Amid the chaos, CM Mann's suggestion to lock the opposition inside the assembly further fueled the uproar, leading to protests outside the assembly by Congress MLAs against the state government as the budget session was underway. Kotli warned of taking revenge for the insult, particularly after Mann's alleged 'seizure' remark. The situation was further dramatized by Mann presenting a lock-and-key set to the Speaker.
