BJP spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi criticized the AAP government in Punjab, saying that since they came to power, the state's economic and law and order situations have worsened. He pointed out that crime rates, including murders, are at a high, and criminals feel more empowered. He also highlighted the recent shooting at the Golden Temple and the attack on former CM Sukhbir Singh Badal as signs of how bad the situation has become.

In the wake of the India-Canada diplomatic crisis, Canadian National Security Expert Joe Adam George highlighted a troubling rise in fake asylum claims. In the first eight months of 2024 alone, Canada recorded 13,000 international students seeking asylum, with a significant number reportedly from Punjab, India. Many claim persecution for supporting the Khalistan movement, a narrative George suggests may not reflect the truth. He argues that this influx indicates an abuse of Canada's asylum and immigration system, prompting the Canadian government to recognize and respond to the issue, albeit belatedly. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges within Canada’s immigration policies, particularly amid geopolitical tensions. As the government moves to address these concerns, the integrity of its asylum process hangs in the balance.
