Overview

• The Punjab and Haryana High Court has stayed the arrest of Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa until April 22 while considering his plea to quash the FIR filed over his '50 bombs' remark.
• Bajwa, who claimed that 50 grenades had entered Punjab, faced six hours of police questioning in Mohali, which he described as politically motivated harassment by the AAP-led state government.
• Congress leaders have rallied behind Bajwa, alleging that the FIR is an act of political vendetta, while AAP leaders accuse him of spreading baseless fear and demand he reveal his sources or apologize.
• The BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal have criticized both Congress and AAP, dismissing their actions as political theatrics and failing to address Punjab's law-and-order challenges.
• The High Court has also directed Bajwa not to make any public statements about the case while the investigation and legal proceedings continue.
