Union Minister Bittu Mann Reaches Punjab CM’s Residence for Debate, Stopped by Security

Chandigarh / Punjab : A major political controversy erupted in Punjab as Union Minister Bittu Mann reached the residence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for a debate but was stopped by the CM’s security personnel. The incident led to a heated argument, followed by a scuffle between the minister’s supporters and the security staff. Following the altercation, a formal complaint was sent to the Chandigarh DGP, demanding action.

According to sources, Bittu Mann had arrived at the CM’s residence with the intent of engaging in a public debate on key governance issues. However, the security team denied him entry, stating that he did not have prior permission. This escalated tensions, leading to verbal exchanges and pushing between both parties. Eyewitnesses reported that the situation almost turned violent before police intervened to control the crowd.

Bittu Mann accused the Punjab government of avoiding accountability, stating that the CM should be open to discussions rather than hiding behind security barriers. His supporters echoed similar sentiments, claiming that denying a debate reflects the ruling party’s lack of confidence.

Following the incident, Bittu Mann filed a formal complaint with the Chandigarh DGP, urging authorities to take action against the security personnel involved. He also warned of further protests if his concerns were not addressed. The opposition has seized the opportunity to criticize the ruling party, intensifying the ongoing political battle in Punjab.
