Referring to the Pargat Singh Targets CM–SGPC Row remarks, he said true sacrilege cases occurred in Bargari and Behbal Kalan. He alleged that despite claims of approving prosecution against Dera Sacha Sauda, the government failed to act decisively. He warned that politicising internal Sikh institutions harms society and the nation.

Pargat Singh also questioned recent changes in the MGNREGA framework. He challenged the Centre’s decision to raise the employment guarantee to 125 days. He said earlier governments could not ensure even 50 days of work out of the promised 100 days.

Highlighting Punjab’s record, he claimed the state provided an average of only 38 days of employment over the past three years, with just 26 days so far this year. He added that Punjab’s financial burden under MGNREGA could rise sharply if the trend continues.

Taking aim at the AAP government’s anti-drug campaign, Pargat Singh asked why a second phase was needed if the first had succeeded. He said sincere reforms need political will, not repeated announcements.
