Breaking News: Channi Backtracks on Surgical Strike Remarks, Clarifies No Proof Is Required

Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi has backtracked after igniting controversy over his remarks questioning the Indian Army’s surgical strikes. Initially, Channi had stated that there was no visible sign of the strikes, asking, “Where did they happen? I didn’t see anything.” His comments triggered strong criticism from the BJP, which accused Congress of undermining the morale of the armed forces. Facing mounting pressure, Channi later clarified that surgical strikes do not require public proof and that no one usually demands evidence. He insisted that his intent was not to deny the strikes but to ask questions. Meanwhile, the Congress party has already directed its leaders to avoid making statements that deviate from the official party stance, particularly on matters of national unity. Despite these guidelines, Channi's initial remarks gave the BJP political ammunition to target Congress. Recognizing the growing controversy, Channi chose to retract his earlier statement to prevent further escalation.
