There have been objections raised against the photos and videos of Aroosa Alam, a defence journalist, with Pakistani military officers. The home minister was quoted saying, "The Captain is saying that Punjab faces a threat from the ISI. So, we will also probe the relation of Aroosa Alam with ISI." He also asked the police to investigate the matter.

He added that Captain Amrinder Singh kept raising the issue of drones coming over from Pakistan for the last four-and-half years. " So, Captain (sahab) first raised this issue and later got BSF deployed in Punjab. So it seems a big plot which needs to be probed.”

As per a report by NDTV, Capt. Amrinder Singh had met during his visit to Pakistan in 2004 after his ceremony. The report added that Alam has been a regular visitor to his home.

Her name had earlier appeared when Singh questioned Navjot Sidhu for attending Imran Khan's oath ceremony in 2018.

Amrinder Singh said, "You were a minister in my cabinet. Never heard you complain about Aroosa Alam. And she had been coming for 16 years with due GOI clearance. Or are you alleging that both NDA and Congress-led UPA governments in this period connived with Pak ISI?"

He added, " One month after taking over this is all you have to show to the people. What happened to your tall promises on Bargari & drugs cases? Punjab is still waiting for your promised action."
