Former Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zira arrested in Punjab’s Ferozepur district

Punjab Police arrested former Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zira in the wee hours on October 17 from his residence in Ferozepur district allegedly for obstructing government officials from performing their duties.

The arrest evoked a sharp response from the Congress against its Indian National Development, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) partner, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is ruling in Punjab.

The verbal attack by the senior Congress leaders against the AAP government indicates the widening rift between the partners of the INDIA bloc that intend to take on the BJP at the national level in the 2024 parliamentary poll.
