Punjab Congress chief Charanjit Singh Channi has publicly backed the suspended party leader Jalalpur, deepening internal divisions within the party.
Punjab Congress chief Charanjit Singh Channi has publicly expressed his support for party leader Jalalpur, who was suspended earlier this year. The move has intensified the already tense atmosphere within the party, with several senior leaders voicing concerns over the decision. Jalalpur’s suspension was reportedly due to alleged misconduct, but Channi’s endorsement suggests a factional split. Party insiders say the rift could affect upcoming elections and the party’s cohesion. Analysts predict that the internal conflict may lead to further realignments within Punjab’s political landscape.
