Anurag Dhanda Accuses Opposition Parties of Spreading Fake Video Against Bhagwant Mann
In a social media statement, Dhanda claimed that leaders from the Shiromani Akali Dal, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Congress were involved in spreading misleading content aimed at damaging Mann’s reputation. He alleged that the controversy was politically motivated and intended to undermine the Chief Minister’s public image.

According to Dhanda, subsequent developments exposed the video as allegedly misleading, prompting him to demand an apology from opposition leaders. He argued that political disagreements should be based on facts and public policy rather than misinformation campaigns.
The comments reflect the increasingly sharp political rhetoric in Punjab, where parties have frequently traded allegations over governance, development, and public communication. Social media has emerged as a major battleground for political messaging, often leading to disputes over the authenticity and interpretation of digital content.
Dhanda maintained that public figures and political organizations should exercise responsibility while sharing information and called for greater accountability in political discourse. The matter has added to the ongoing debate surrounding the use of social media and digital platforms in contemporary politics.
