Punjab Government Must Uphold Humanity, Not Divide Children by Party Colors: Pargat Singh

Jalandhar, January 31, 2026: Former Education Minister and MLA Pargat Singh issued a scathing warning today, slamming the Punjab government for shamelessly painting government schools in the colors of AAP party flags under a disastrously failed education policy. This cynical ploy is nothing short of an attempt to brainwash Punjab's people and divide innocent schoolchildren along partisan lines. The Punjab government must stop this outrageous discrimination of children based on party hues. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann needs to break free from Delhi's suffocating shadow and show some basic humanity in this matter.

Today, Pargat Singh visited the Government Girls Senior Secondary School on Ladowali Road in Jalandhar East Block and presented irrefutable evidence to the media of the school's walls being slathered in AAP's signature blue and yellow flag colors. He revealed that the walls had been recently renovated and adorned with diverse, creative paintings just a short while ago. But following fresh orders from the AAP overlords, they were brutally repainted at enormous expense—wasting precious public money—in the party's garish flag shades, erasing all traces of neutrality.

Pargat Singh also tore into Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, demanding he name the so-called "expert" who dictated these ridiculous colors. Everyone knows these "experts" are Delhi imports, micromanaging Punjab's government on everything from paint choices to policy disasters. AAP has unleashed a horde of 100 Delhi puppeteers on Punjab, turning our state into a remote-controlled farce."

This is the land of the Gurus, where humanity comes first—before castes, creeds, or political games," Pargat Singh asserted. "Children must not be poisoned with such divisive tactics if Punjab is to remain a blooming garden of unity." He urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to prioritize Punjab's true interests over Delhi's whims.

Reiterating his call for accountability, Pargat Singh blasted AAP's sham education revolution as a monumental fraud. Chief Minister Mann's globe-trotting escapades—flying off to foreign jaunts—cannot salvage his crumbling education system. Instead of superficial stunts like flag-colored walls, the government must urgently focus on recruiting quality teachers and strengthening school infrastructure. Even today, teachers are forced to protest on the streets in desperation. The AAP regime has cast a dark shadow over the lives of 1,159 assistant professors, leaving Punjab lagging hopelessly behind other states in education—with no hope of competing nationally.

Citing AAP's so-called "education revolution," the former minister exposed its pathetic reality: In 2020, Manish Sisodia flaunted a "model school" in Punjab, only for 5,000 students to be hastily shifted elsewhere by 2024 after the building was declared dangerously unsafe. This is the true face of AAP's education scam. And it's the same story in Delhi, where their hyped "model schools" are being demolished one by one.
