Congress leader Pargat Singh attended a sit‑in in Mansa demanding action on the Parvinder Singh Jhota murder case, as protesters plan to surround the CM residence on Nov 5 and demonstrate outside legislators' homes.
Punjab Congress president Pargat Singh arrived in Mansa on Tuesday to join a protest that has been ongoing over the killing of Parvinder Singh Jhota. The demonstrators, comprising local party workers and supporters, have been demanding swift investigation and accountability in the case.
The protestors have announced that on November 5 they will attempt to encircle the Chief Minister's residence, a move they say is intended to pressure the state government to act decisively. They also plan to stage demonstrations outside the homes of all legislators the following day.
Party officials said Singh's presence was meant to show solidarity with the families of the victims and to underscore the Congress's commitment to law and order in Punjab. No clashes were reported during his visit, and the gathering remained peaceful.
Local authorities have been monitoring the situation closely, citing concerns about potential disruptions around the CM house and legislators' neighborhoods. The administration has not yet confirmed any security arrangements for the planned actions.
