In a political saga that has stirred significant uproar, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has denounced Congress leader Amrinder Singh Raja Warring for his controversial remarks about former Union minister late Buta Singh. Cheema described the comments as 'unpardonable,' and hinted at potential repercussions from the Election Commission.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) plans to bring this issue to the Election Commission, emphasizing the necessity of action against Warring, who made the remarks while campaigning for the Congress candidate in the Tarn Taran assembly bypoll. Warring's statements have received widespread criticism from various political quarters.
