Seerat Kaur Mann Makes Allegations About Father Bhagwant Mann

My name is Seerat Kaur Mann. And I’m the daughter of Punjab’s Chief Minister, Bhagwant Singh Mann.

There’s one thing I’d like to say first.

In this video, I’ll refer to him only as Mr. Mann or Chief Minister.

He lost the right to hear me call him “Dad” a long time ago.

I have no political motive for making this video.

The only reason is that I want our story to come out too.

Until now, whatever people have heard, they’ve heard about us only from the Chief Minister himself.

And because of that, the things we’ve had to hear, and everything we’ve had to see, I can’t describe.

And until now, we’ve stayed silent. Our mother has stayed silent.

I think they’ve assumed that our silence is our weakness.

They don’t know that because we stayed silent, he’s now sitting in that office.

The first thing I’d like to say, Mr. Mann…

His wife, Dr. Gurpreet Mann, is pregnant.

He's going to become a father for the third time.

I found out about this from other people.

He didn't think it was necessary to tell me himself.

He didn't think it was necessary to tell his son, Dilshan, either.

I'd like to ask: You have two children, I'm twenty-three years old, and my brother is about to turn nineteen.

He can't take responsibility for his own children.

How will that same man take responsibility for the people of Punjab?

What we experienced in our lives, he's using on the people of Punjab.

He said the reason for the divorce was that my wife wanted me not to get into politics.

There are many reasons for the divorce, and that's my mom's story to tell.

When she's ready, she'll tell it for sure, but I'll share a few reasons.

Drinking alcohol, emotional and physical abuse of my mother, and a habit of lying.

And emotional blackmail.

Even today, they get drunk and go to the Legislative Assembly.

They get drunk and go to the gurdwara. They get drunk and give press conferences.

For a leader, someone with whom— so many people have placed their hopes, you are showing such disrespect.

The people who voted for you. There are so many things, so many things, and it would take me hours to tell you, but I just, I just want to request that our name not be linked with theirs.

They've made it quite clear that we are not part of their family.

My brother and I are not part of their family.

Their family is about to start over again.

Mr. Mann, congratulations. You're about to become a father again.

I can only pray that that child's life will be better than ours.

For that child, may you prove yourself to be a good father.

I have one more request.

For the Punjab you left your family for, you left your family and chose that Punjab.

Do something for the children of that Punjab, for the mothers of that Punjab, and for its sisters.

Take responsibility for them, and perhaps God will forgive you.

For what you did to us, may God forgive you.

Sat Sri Akal.
