The Punjab Assembly saw chaos as Congress MLAs staged walkouts, and a censure motion was passed against Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa for his remarks about environmentalist Balbir Singh Seechewal. Bajwa's comments sparked heated exchanges in the House, resulting in adjournments and ongoing disputes.

The Punjab Assembly was engulfed in controversy on Thursday when Congress legislators walked out three times, leading to adjournments, following comments made by Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa against environmentalist and AAP MP Balbir Singh Seechewal.

The House passed a censure motion condemning Bajwa's remarks, which had sparked intense exchanges between treasury benches and Congress members. Bajwa refused to apologize, maintaining his stance while Congress MLAs protested vehemently.

Bajwa's remarks about Seechewal's qualifications and alleged failures drew criticism from AAP members and prompted calls for an apology. Despite the uproar, Bajwa criticized the AAP's actions, claiming they were opposing his resolution on Bhagat Singh, labeling it dishonorable.
