The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has strongly condemned the actions of Congress leader and MP, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who was recently caught in a viral video making shocking promises to voters in exchange for their votes. In the video, Warring is seen offering 50,000 rupees to voters from the Gidderbaha constituency, attempting to sway their decision with cash incentives. This blatant act of vote-buying is not only a violation of the model code of conduct but also a direct attack on the core values of democracy.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has expressed sharp disapproval over the rejection of a proposal to name a square in Lahore after Bhagat Singh and the incident where he was labeled a terrorist.

AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang, in a press conference, said that the decision of the Punjab government of Pakistan is highly condemnable. We will not tolerate the insult to Bhagat Singh. The Indian government should intervene in this matter and demand an explanation from Pakistan. He further stated that AAP will oppose any insult to Bhagat Singh anywhere in the world. We follow the ideologies of Bhagat Singh and Dr. Ambedkar, and their thoughts are our fundamental principles. AAP Punjab Secretary and Markfed Chairman Amandeep Singh Mohi was also present at the press conference.

Kang said that Bhagat Singh is a hero of the freedom struggle. At just 23 years of age, his unparalleled sacrifice is why we call him Shaheed-e-Azam. The AAP governments in Delhi and Punjab have made a historic decision to display portraits of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in all government offices. Today, their portraits are displayed in every government office in Delhi and Punjab.
