  "account": "BJP MP Harbhajan Singh faced criticism after sharing a video clip on social media, claiming it depicted intoxicated men from Punjab. However, AAP leaders and Punjab Police revealed the footage was actually from Rajasthan, specifically Sri Ganganagar, not Punjab. Former cricketer and Rajya Sabha MP Singh had posted the video on X, expressing his disappointment over the situation in Punjab and calling for honesty and accountability from the state's governments. He had recently left the AAP and joined the BJP in April. Kejriwal and Punjab Cabinet Minister Baljit Kaur accused Singh of spreading false information and damaging Punjab's image for political gains. Punjab Police also clarified that the video was from Rajasthan and urged social media users to verify the facts before sharing such content.",
