Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, September 13, 2026: The Punjab Congress will hold a protest march in Chandigarh on September 15 against AAP minister Harpal Singh Cheema over the death of Gulzar Singh, with the party demanding his dismissal from the state cabinet and immediate arrest.
Former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi announced the protest in a post on X on Sunday.
According to Channi, the march will be held under the leadership of Congress General Secretary in-charge Sachin Pilot. Congress workers will assemble at the Punjab Congress office in Chandigarh at 11 am on September 15 and march towards Cheema’s residence.
The Congress has linked its protest to the death of Gulzar Singh and is demanding action against Cheema in connection with the case.
Channi appealed to Congress workers to participate in the protest in large numbers.
The proposed march comes amid growing political confrontation between the Congress and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party over the circumstances surrounding Gulzar Singh’s death and the action demanded by his family and political opponents.
The Congress has been pressing for accountability and has targeted Cheema over the matter, while the issue has become a fresh point of confrontation between the opposition party and the Punjab government.
