Punjab CM Mann and BJP's Bittu Support Parole for Beant Singh Murder Convict

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu have both expressed support for granting parole to Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted for the assassination of former Punjab CM Beant Singh. Ravneet Bittu, who is the grandson of the slain former chief minister, backed the parole decision despite his personal connection to the case. Bittu drew a clear distinction between seeking justice for his grandfather and showing compassion toward the convict's elderly mother. The rare cross-party consensus on a sensitive issue has drawn attention given the historical and political significance of the 1995 assassination case.
