CM Bhagwant Mann says Punjab has accepted the family’s demands in the Parvinder Singh Jhota case, leaving the post-mortem decision to relatives.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday issued a key statement regarding the Parvinder Singh Jhota case, saying the state government had accepted all the legitimate demands raised by the deceased social activist’s family. He added that the decision on whether to conduct a post-mortem examination would now be left entirely to the bereaved family.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in Patiala, Mann said the government had fulfilled its responsibilities sincerely. His remarks brought the Parvinder Singh Jhota case into focus alongside broader political issues concerning Punjab’s relationship with the Centre and the opposition’s stance on drug abuse.
Post-Mortem Decision Left to the Family
Addressing questions about the case, Bhagwant Mann said the government had agreed to the legitimate demands made by the family of the deceased social activist. According to the Chief Minister, the state government had done what was required of it.
Mann also clarified that the decision regarding the post-mortem examination rested with the family. His statement placed the next step in the Parvinder Singh Jhota case in the hands of the bereaved relatives.

Bhagwant Mann Accuses Centre of Undermining Punjab’s Interests
The Punjab Chief Minister also criticised the BJP-led Central Government, accusing it of repeatedly acting against the interests of Punjab.
Mann alleged that the Centre had attempted to limit Punjab’s rights in matters related to Union Territory affairs. He further claimed that the state’s representation and share in inter-state water management boards were being reduced.
The Chief Minister also accused the Centre of withholding development funds legitimately due to Punjab. He said delays in releasing these funds were affecting the state’s progress and development efforts.
Despite these alleged challenges, Mann maintained that his government remained committed to building a prosperous Punjab with a stronger economy and improved development opportunities.
CM Mann Questions Opposition’s Stand on Drug Abuse
During the interaction with reporters, Mann was also asked about the political equations among opposition parties. In response, he questioned what he described as inconsistencies in their approach to the issue of drug abuse.
The Chief Minister pointed out that opposition parties had recently organised marches against drugs but, according to him, were also preparing to share political platforms with leaders facing serious allegations.
Mann argued that taking a strong public stand against drugs while pursuing political arrangements for electoral or political interests sent a contradictory message. These comments reflected his criticism of the opposition’s stated commitment to tackling drug abuse.
People Will Respond at the Appropriate Time, Says Mann
Bhagwant Mann further claimed that the people of Punjab were aware of the political positions taken by different parties. He expressed confidence that voters would respond to these positions at the appropriate time.
The Chief Minister’s remarks covered three major issues: the Parvinder Singh Jhota case, Punjab’s alleged differences with the Central Government over state interests and development funds, and the opposition’s approach to the anti-drug campaign.
While the government’s position on the family’s demands was central to his statement, Mann also used the occasion to highlight what he described as challenges facing Punjab and contradictions in the opposition’s political conduct.
The Parvinder Singh Jhota case therefore remained a key part of the Chief Minister’s public remarks, with the family’s decision on the post-mortem examination yet to be made clear in the supplied information.
