Controversies
[edit]Jhinjer’s political career has been marked by several controversies:
- 2015 Audio Clip Controversy In 2015, an audio clip featuring conversations among prominent Punjab Congress leaders, including Sukhjinder Raj Singh and Lalli Majithia, was posted on Jhinjer’s social media. The clip implicated the Congress Party in discussions related to a religious movement called Sarbat Khalsa, which had been controversial in Punjab’s political landscape. The Shiromani Akali Dal accused the Congress Party of supporting elements associated with the Sarbat Khalsa congregation, leading to political tensions.[10]
- Criticism of BJP’s Political Strategy In 2021, Jhinjer criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for exploiting the parole of Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the Dera Sacha Sauda chief, for political gains ahead of the Haryana Assembly elections. Jhinjer accused the BJP of using Ram Rahim's parole to influence voters, while alleging discrimination against Sikhs by comparing it to the treatment of other political prisoners. His statements were made in a public Facebook live stream, where he urged the Sikh community to voice opposition to what he described as an unjust system.[11]
