Punjab Congress Protests Against AAP Government Amid Internal Party Rift
Punjab Congress workers, led by Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, staged protests against the Aam Aadmi Party government over issues including the suicide of farm labourer Gulzar Singh and alleged law and order failures. Police used water cannons to disperse protesters attempting to reach Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's residence. Warring demanded the dismissal and arrest of Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, citing alleged responsibility for Gulzar's death. Meanwhile, internal rifts persist within Punjab Congress, with key leaders aligned with Charanjit Singh Channi absent from the protests.
