The political landscape in Punjab has been rocked by the arrest of Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia by the Vigilance Bureau, raising significant questions about the AAP government's tactics.

Major opposition parties, including the SAD, Congress, and BJP, argue that the arrest is part of a broader pattern of political persecution, as they see an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
