BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj lashed out at the Punjab government on Friday, accusing it of targeting the Punjab Kesari newspaper group with raids following a report critical of AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.

During a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Swaraj claimed that the AAP government was attempting to suppress the media, asserting that the administration's days were numbered.

The Punjab Kesari group recently wrote to the state government alleging multiple enforcement raids. The AAP-led government dismissed these claims in an official statement, denying accusations of media suppression.
