Punjab Commission Investigates Alleged Anti-Dalit Audio Clip

Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission investigates an alleged anti-Dalit audio by Congress leader Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, who claims the clip is fake. Warring has requested the police to file an FIR, alleging a smear campaign amid local elections.

The Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission, led by Jasvir Singh Garhi, has initiated a probe into a controversial audio clip purportedly featuring anti-Dalit comments by Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the state Congress president. The audio has led to significant political turmoil, with Warring denying its authenticity and claiming it was fabricated.

Warring has urged the Punjab police chief and the State Election Commission to file a First Information Report (FIR) against those circulating the alleged false clip. He asserted that similar attempts to malign his image occurred seven years ago and are resurfacing during ongoing local elections. Garhi has requested a detailed report from the Muktsar police and has called for a forensic analysis of Warring's voice.

Warring expressed his disbelief at the commission's quick decision to act on the clip without verifying it. He implied that releasing the audio at this crucial election time suggests a deliberate attempt to damage his reputation. Warring stated his commitment to identifying those responsible for what he calls a targeted smear campaign.
