Bajwa ji, there is a spring on the chair, you stand up immediately
Taking a dig at the opposition, CM Mann said, "We will harass you like this for as long as we have time. Get people to vote for you and get you removed. Our government has been in power in Delhi for ten years, theirs is zero there. Their leaders have big houses in New Delhi itself, but now even the gardeners there do not vote for them. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said, they get boxes installed in newspapers, sir, we have listened to you for 60 years, now listen to us too." Pointing towards the Leader of Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa, he said you will get the full time. There is a spring on the chair, you stand up immediately. They call us material and then say there is a technical problem.
Animal Cruelty Amendment Bill passed
The Animal Cruelty Amendment Bill has been passed unanimously in the Assembly. This bill was passed after talks with the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties. During the discussion on the Animal Cruelty Amendment Bill in the Assembly, the CM read out some lines from the composition of Sant Ram Udaasi and said that people keep parrots, pigeons and dogs. He said that in foreign countries, even the most expensive operations are done for these animals. The CM said that organizations like Gadvasu exist in Punjab and with the passage of this bill, bull games will be easily organized in the whole of Punjab. He said that such a tournament is held in his own village and these traditional games are still played in many districts including Ludhiana, Kapurthala and Tarn Taran. Describing these traditional games of villages as our heritage, he said that they should be preserved.
At the same time, on the issue of stray dogs, the CM said that this is a serious problem, it is very sad when dogs surround children and the elderly. He assured that this issue will be raised before the central government. Speaking on the Animal Cruelty Amendment Bill, CM Bhagwant Mann said that for the first time a voice is being raised in favour of the voiceless. He said that the pair of bulls holds a special significance for us, our Guru Sahib also did farming with bulls for 16 years in Kartarpur Sahib. Referring to an incident, the CM said that one of his friends told him that he raises animals like his sons. Comparing Jallikattu of Tamil Nadu and the bull race of Punjab, the CM said that both are similar traditions. He also clarified that an important condition has been kept in this bill that during the race, the animals will not be hit with a stick or anything else, they will only be moved forward by patting them with the hand.

Those who have golden coins in their houses, how would they know the importance of water?
CM Mann said- Those who have canals in their fields, whose taps have golden coins, how would they know the importance of water. They talk about Chandrayaan but the sewerage lids are not being completed. They talk about becoming Vishwa Guru (World Leader). But he does not invite people. The shooting of Diljit's film was done before the Pahalgam terror attack. There were Pakistani actors in it, now they are not allowing the film to be screened. Sometimes they call him Sardar, sometimes traitor. While PM Sahib himself goes to Pakistan to eat Biryani.
