CM Bhagwant Singh Mann highlighted the issue of missing Guru Granth Sahib ‘saroops’ at AAP’s Maghi rally, saying 169 were traced during the probe. “The SIT found 169 missing ‘saroops’ from a religious place near Banga, with records existing for only 30. No agency, neither SGPC nor those who managed them, had proper documentation,” he said.

Mann claimed his government would hand over the ‘saroops’ to SGPC for installation. “This isn’t an achievement we’re claiming credit for – it’s our duty,” he added.

Earlier, Mann offered prayers at the historic gurdwara here and paid homage to the 40 ‘muktas’. “People have gathered here not just to listen to politics but to bow to Guru Sahib,” he said.

The CM mixed his remarks with political attacks, saying former rulers were trying to regain power, while AAP had given jobs, ensured uninterrupted power, and planned a Rs 10 lakh insurance scheme. He announced Rs 1,000 monthly honorarium for women in the next budget.

Mann targeted SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal and PCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, but spared BJP. The rally saw a large turnout, with notable attendees including Manish Sisodia and AAP Cabinet ministers.CM’s mother Harpal Kaur was also present on the stage. The party’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal did not attend the rally.
