Twin Blasts In Punjab: Terror Plot Or Political War Ahead Of Elections?

Punjab witnessed twin explosions on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, raising serious concerns over national security and political accountability. The first blast occurred near the BSF headquarters in Jalandhar, followed hours later by another near an Army camp in Amritsar’s Khasa area. Police sources point to a cross-border terror plot, allegedly backed by Pakistan’s ISI, aimed at destabilising the state. The situation took a political turn after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann suggested the incidents could be part of a larger conspiracy ahead of elections — a claim that even Punjab’s top cop appeared to contradict. As BJP hits back, accusing the state government of downplaying a terror threat, the bigger question emerges: is Punjab dealing with a serious security lapse or a dangerous political distraction? With memories of past militancy still fresh, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Watch the full report for ground updates and expert insights.
