Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann says his government is focused on attracting international investment even as political tensions in the state intensify following recent remarks from Navjot Kaur Sidhu.

Speaking to reporters, Mann said his administration is working to bring global companies to Punjab to expand opportunities in technology, health care, agriculture, and research. He contrasted that with what he described as the opposition Congress party’s focus on internal disputes and claims about the value of political positions.

The Chief Minister returned this week from a visit to Japan and South Korea, where he met with business leaders and government officials. According to Mann, several firms expressed interest in exploring new projects in sectors such as horticulture, information technology, and advanced medical services.

Mann also criticized the Shiromani Akali Dal, saying the party is preoccupied with internal matters while the state government is pushing ahead with economic development initiatives.

The international outreach comes as Punjab faces ongoing debates about governance, investment, and the state’s long term economic direction.
