Mann claimed the ruling BJP instructed the CBI and ED to act against him after he raised issues concerning Punjab's rights, as reported by India Today.
Punjab political figure Mann publicly alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to pursue legal action against him. He said the move was a direct response to his vocal advocacy for the rights of Punjab residents.
The statement was reported by India Today, which quoted Mann asserting that the investigative agencies were being used as tools to silence dissent on regional issues. He did not provide specific details of any ongoing investigations but emphasized that the alleged pressure was linked to his recent statements on Punjab's autonomy and resource allocation.
Mann's remarks come amid heightened political sensitivities in the state, where demands for greater fiscal and administrative powers have been a recurring theme. The BJP, which leads the central government, has not commented on the allegations, and no official response from the CBI or ED has been recorded as of now.
