Charanjit Singh Channi Leads Protest Over Punjab Recruitment Exam Fraud Amid Congress Infighting
Former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi led a Congress protest in Faridkot against alleged recruitment exam fraud under the AAP government, focusing on a Pharmacy Officer exam leak. While Channi and senior leaders condemned the state government and demanded resignations, internal Congress divisions surfaced, highlighted by the absence of Channi's son and local Youth Congress leaders from a related protest. Congress sources noted Channi's parliamentary absence was due to prior commitments, amid ongoing factional tensions within the party.
