Reacting to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s remark on Operation Sindoor, BJP leader Fatehjang Singh Bajwa said, "This is very shameful." He added, "Comedians look good on stage...but Bhagwant Mann doesn't understand the value of CM's chair." Mann had earlier said, "Will you wear sindoor in Modi’s name?" which Bajwa called "shameful for the CM to joke about such a thing".
