Opposition parties in Punjab have strongly criticized the AAP government after a hand grenade was thrown at BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia's residence in Jalandhar, describing the incident as a stark indicator of the state's faltering law and order situation. They are demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on moral grounds.

The explosion caused damage to Kalia's home and vehicles but fortunately resulted in no injuries. Political figures are alleging a conspiracy by Pakistan's ISI to incite communal tension in Punjab. The Punjab Police have arrested two individuals connected to the attack.

Increasing political pressure mounts as BJP leaders and others accuse the current administration of negligence and demand accountability. The chief minister's failure to protect citizens has sparked widespread protest and calls for immediate government action to address safety concerns.
