Amritpal Singh Finds Support In Ex-Punjab CM Charanjit Channi: ‘20 Lakh People Chose Him’ |Lok Sabha

Congress Lok Sabha MP and former Punjab chief minister, Charanjit Singh Channi, on July 25, openly advocated for controversial MP Amritpal Singh during a discussion on the Union Budget 2024 in the Lok Sabha. Channi said that Waris Punjab De’ Chief, elected as an independent MP by around 20 lakh people from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat, can’t present the views of his constituency as he has been lodged in jail. Slamming the BJP-led NDA government, Channi added, "they speak about emergencies daily. But what about the undeclared emergency in the country today? A man who was elected as an MP by 20 lakh people in Punjab is behind bars under the NSA. This too is an emergency."
