# Punjab Congress meeting disrupted by protests against Baghel and Warring 2026-08-06T18:26:24+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet An organisational meeting of the Punjab Congress in Ludhiana was disrupted on Thursday by protests, slogans and a brief scuffle involving supporters of state in-charge Bhupesh Baghel and state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Some protesters wore “Baghel Go Back” T-shirts and raised slogans supporting former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi and former minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu, India Today reports. Warring accused the protesters of being linked to the RSS, while Rediff reports that he called them “RSS agents”. Ashu’s supporters rejected the charge. Baghel warned of “zero tolerance” towards indiscipline and promised action against those responsible. The confrontation comes after Congress retained Warring as state chief and appointed Channi to head its campaign committee ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. ## Coverage - rediff.com - indiatoday.in Tags: 2027 Assembly elections, Bhupesh Baghel, party factionalism, Punjab Congress, Raja Warring Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/punjab-congress-meeting-disrupted-by-anti-baghel-slogans-and-scuffle/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
