He referred to a horrific murder that occurred in Jhajjar, Haryana, on Wednesday, where three to four assailants brazenly entered a home in broad daylight, fired 14 shots, and escaped while the police and state government remained inactive. Dhanda took to social media to highlight the surprising silence of the Congress party, which typically raises alarms over law and order issues in Punjab, despite being the main opposition party in Haryana. He questioned the Congress's apparent closeness to the BJP government in Haryana, asking what such a relationship could be termed.
