Punjab congress protest over AAP Promise of Rs 1100 to women, Raja Warring Detained: Chandigarh was left stunned as the Punjab Congress organized a protest against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for not keeping its promise of offering ₹1,100 monthly financial assistance to women. The protest was brought out by Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) President Raja Warring, where hundreds of Congress workers, including Punjab Mahila Congress members, marched toward the Vidhan Sabha.
The protesters were confronted by intense police resistance in the form of barricades and water cannons to drive the crowd away. In spite of the aggressive action, the protesters stood firm, chanting slogans against the AAP government and calling for instant action to fulfill the pledged financial assistance.
Raja Warring, along with other Congress leaders and demonstrators, was arrested by the police during the protest. Speaking to the gathering prior to the arrest, Warring condemned the Bhagwant Mann government for its supposed inability to keep its promises. He called on the government not only to initiate the monthly disbursements but also to pay women with arrears for the last three years.
The demonstration was a reflection of mounting anger in different sections of society, and Warring blamed the AAP government for ignoring the demands of women, farmers, and other weaker sections of society. The deployment of water cannons on female protesters also evoked strong criticism from opposition leaders who termed the police action as excessive and unjustified.
This protest is yet another addition to the growing pressure on the AAP government to face its broken promises and regain the people's faith. With rising tensions, everybody is waiting to see what step the government takes next to set things right in the people's eyes.
