Congress distances itself from Channi’s comments, with Jairam Ramesh saying his views are his own and 'do not reflect in any way the position of the Indian National Congress'.
Congress candidate from Jalandhar, Charanjit Singh Channi says he wants to better understand Punjab’s economy, criticises Modi’s visits & CM Mann’s governance.
Charanjit Singh Channi drew parallels between Poonch attack & 2019 Pulwama attack, saying it was used by BJP for electoral gains, but clarifies he didn't mean to disrespect fallen soldiers.
Party’s state leadership came together to support Jalandhar bypoll candidate. Punjab Congress gen secy says Sidhu, Warring, Channi & Bajwa ‘will work together to campaign for her’.
Channi met Kharge, Priyanka, to 'discuss a possible role' in Punjab unit; the hierarchy underwent thorough shake-up earlier this year following Congress’ defeat in Assembly polls.
The ex-CM was last seen at a public event on Eid and has since been missing from the political scene. Channi has plans to return to India next month, says his brother.
Former Punjab CM is learnt to have left India early in May, 8 weeks after Congress' drubbing in state polls. Party's Punjab chief Warring says his absence at this point is 'unfortunate'.
Speaking to ThePrint days after Congress' drubbing in 2022 Punjab elections, Sunil Jakhar talks about road ahead for party, and his one 'unfinished agenda' as he retires from active politics.
This is the second FIR lodged against the Punjab CM in the past 48 hours. Earlier, on Thursday, an FIR had been filed against Channi for controversial comments made at a roadshow.
India’s foreign policy today is driven less by Western alignment or global liberalism and more by domestic political imperatives — economic, ideological, and electoral.
Electronics—specifically smartphones—& energy & pharma products make up 30% of Indian exports to US. 25% tariff on India came into effect Thursday, extra 25% to kick in by August-end.
What a remarkable thing to say. First, Amritpal Singh was not an MP when he was charged under the NSA. Second, becoming an MP does not end existing legal proceedings against a person. And, third, freedom of speech (probably) does not extend to making threats against persons in constitutional positions such as the Home Minister. Any relief that Amritpal gets in the future will have to come from the courts.
