1. What is Bhagwant Mann viral video controversy?

A few days ago an alleged video went viral on social media. Allegations were made regarding the video that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is seen allegedly behaving in an objectionable manner with the pictures of Sikh Gurus. As soon as the video went viral, there was an uproar in the politics of Punjab. Opposition parties and many religious organizations termed this matter as serious and started demanding action.

2. Controversy increased due to the entry of Akal Takht

The matter became bigger when Akal Takht, considered the highest religious institution of Sikhism, also took cognizance of this dispute. There were allegations of hurting religious sentiments regarding the video and harsh comments were made about Bhagwant Mann. This development took the controversy out of the political realm and made it a subject of religious and social debate.

3. BJP even demanded arrest

As the controversy escalated, BJP also started cornering the Punjab government. Party leaders alleged that pressure was created to prove the alleged video fake and there was a need for an impartial investigation into the matter. Some leaders even demanded action and arrest against the Chief Minister.

4. Now AAP introduced a new video

On Thursday, Aam Aadmi Party shared a video on its official social media account. In the video, a person is seen sitting inside the car and a mask is seen in his hand which looks like the face of Bhagwant Mann. AAP claims that an attempt was made to tarnish the image of the Chief Minister by using this mask.

5. Who is Jagman Samra?

During the press conference, Bhagwant Mann made one name public – Jagman Samra. The Chief Minister claimed that this was the person behind the viral video and he was allegedly roaming around with a mask. Mann said that he has photographs and videos of Jagman Samra.

6. Why did Arvind Kejriwal’s name also come up?

Bhagwant Mann claimed in the press conference that Jagman Samra had already prepared a mask like that of Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. The Chief Minister alleges that political opponents are now trying to spread confusion through fake videos and masks.

7. What did Bhagwant Mann say?

The Chief Minister clearly said that he is not the person seen in the viral video. He said that if anyone has any doubt then forensic investigation of the video can be done. He challenged and said that investigation should be conducted by any independent agency, he has no objection.

8. What is the Canada Connection?

Bhagwant Mann claimed that Jagman Samra currently lives in Canada. The Chief Minister also said that he himself has not gone to Canada after 2016. According to him, this fact also raises questions on the alleged propaganda campaign being run against him.

9. What allegations were made against the opposition?

Making a direct attack on the opposition parties, the Chief Minister said that due to their inability to compete politically, false campaigns are being run against them. Mann says that the opposition’s political hold in Punjab has weakened, hence efforts are being made to tarnish their image.

10. What can happen next?

The next phase of this entire controversy will depend on investigation and forensic testing. On one hand, the Aam Aadmi Party is calling it a political conspiracy, while the opposition and some religious organizations are demanding that there should be an impartial investigation into the matter. If the investigating agencies draw any conclusion regarding the authenticity of the video, then this controversy can have a bigger impact in the politics of Punjab.
