Punjab Ministers Face Backlash for Discussing Cruises Amidst Flood Survey

Three Punjab ministers have landed themselves in hot water after being caught on camera discussing cruise vacations while inspecting flood-affected areas in Tarn Taran district. The video of the incident has quickly gone viral, drawing sharp criticism from the public and opposition parties.

Ministers’ Cruise Conversation Deemed Insensitive

Ministers Harbhajan Singh, Laljit Singh Bhullar, and Barinder Kumar Goyal were on the ground to assess the damage caused by recent floods. However, their conversation seemed to drift far from the pressing needs of the affected community. Instead of focusing on the relief efforts, the ministers were overheard discussing cruises to Sweden and Goa, seemingly oblivious to the suffering around them.

Public Outrage Over Perceived Lack of Concern

The video has sparked public outrage, with many condemning the ministers’ apparent lack of concern for the flood victims. Critics argue that the ministers’ casual discussion of leisure travel during a time of crisis demonstrates a disconnect from the realities faced by those struggling with the flood’s aftermath. The incident has raised questions about the government’s commitment to addressing the needs of the affected population.
