Aam Aadmi Party Takes to the Streets to Seek Justice for Dalit IPS Officer Puran Kumar’s Family

National News: The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab has taken a major step forward in transforming the fight for justice for Dalit IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar into a public movement. The family’s continued struggle for justice and the silence of Haryana’s BJP government have stirred strong emotions across Punjab. The Aam Aadmi Party has made it clear that this issue is not merely about the death of one officer but a fight for justice, equality, and social dignity. After the alleged suicide of senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, who belonged to the Dalit community, his family has been relentlessly demanding justice. The delay in post-mortem and funeral procedures has become a symbol of how the establishment tried to bury the death of a Dalit officer under politics and influence. But now, under the leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party, the demand for justice will echo across the streets of Punjab.

Candle Marches Across Punjab Led by AAP Ministers and MLAs

AAP ministers and MLAs will lead candle marches in all major districts of the state. Harbhajan Singh ETO will lead in Amritsar, Mohinder Bhagat in Jalandhar, MLA Gurdev Devmann in Patiala, and senior party leaders in Chandigarh. The party stated that this will not be just a symbolic act, but a strong message that when those in power remain silent on injustice, the people rise and respond on the streets.

Movement Inspired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Ideology

The Aam Aadmi Party has linked this movement to the ideology of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. The principles of justice, equality, and dignity for which Babasaheb fought are the same ideals being defended through this campaign. The people of Punjab will not tolerate the injustice done to an honest officer like Puran Kumar at any cost. This movement is not only for one officer but for the dignity of the entire Dalit community.

Public Anger Mounts Against Government Silence

The public sentiment is clear—people are angry and deeply hurt. They are questioning that if even a senior IPS officer cannot get justice, then what hope remains for the common citizen? The BJP government’s silence and sluggish attitude have further intensified this anger. The Aam Aadmi Party has stated that the government must now answer, as the demand for justice can no longer be suppressed.

A Symbol of Social Awakening Beyond Politics

The Aam Aadmi Party also said that the BJP government’s insensitivity shows that the pain of the Dalit community is not being taken seriously in the corridors of power. But history has shown that whenever those in power tried to silence voices, public movements on the streets forced change. That is why, across Punjab, people will light candles and raise their voices together for justice. This movement will emerge as a symbol of social awakening beyond politics. The Aam Aadmi Party has said that the fight for justice may be long and difficult, but it will continue until the end. The struggle will go on until Puran Kumar gets justice.
