Breaking: ‘Channi Zindabad’ slogans raised in front of Raja Warring at Patiala event
Babushahi Bureau
Patiala (Punjab), August 1, 2026: An awkward situation arose during a Congress event in Patiala on Saturday when some party workers raised slogans in support of former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi in the presence of Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.
Reportedly, Punjab Congress in-charge Bhupesh Baghel was also present during the event.
According to information received, the workers raising the slogans were said to be supporters of Channi. Repeated chants of “Channi Zindabad” echoed at the venue while Warring was present, briefly drawing attention away from the scheduled programme.
The incident has sparked discussion in political circles, with some linking the slogan-shouting to possible factionalism within the Punjab Congress. However, the party has not issued any official statement on the matter so far.
Warring reportedly attempted to maintain calm as the slogans continued, and the event proceeded according to its scheduled programme.
