Members of the Mansa Action Committee staged a sit‑in outside the residences of AAP legislators, pressing Home Minister Amit Shah to meet Parvinder Singh Jhota’s father over the ongoing murder investigation.
Mansa Action Committee activists gathered outside the private residences of several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators on Saturday, staging a continuous dharna to highlight the Parvinder Singh Jhota murder case. The protesters demanded that Home Minister Amit Shah meet the victim's father, who has expressed readiness to discuss the case with the central authority.
The demonstration, described by organizers as a "forceful demand," saw participants holding placards and chanting slogans urging swift justice. The father of the deceased, Parvinder Singh Jhota, has been waiting for a meeting with Amit Shah, believing that a direct dialogue could accelerate the investigation.
Local police reported that the protest remained peaceful, with no arrests made. Authorities have not yet confirmed any official meeting date between Amit Shah and the victim's family, but the pressure from the dharna is expected to influence the Home Ministry's response.
The incident underscores the growing political involvement in high‑profile criminal cases in Punjab, where opposition parties and local committees often mobilise public sentiment to seek accountability from the central government.
