The relocation of students from Punjab to Canada in large numbers has now started to backfire on their status in Canada. Who is responsible? The mushrooming of unrecognized colleges in Canada, which provide visa cover letters at huge cost with their selfish motives of money-making.

Why is there no check by enrolling these colleges in Indian embassies in Canada to avoid potential frauds?
As Congress prepares for the 2027 Punjab elections, the debate around Charanjit Singh Channi is becoming increasingly difficult for the party to ignore. Supporters view Channi as the party’s most relatable mass leader with strong grassroots appeal, Dalit representation, and the ability to emotionally connect with ordinary voters across Punjab. However, critics within the party argue that public popularity and symbolic value alone may not be enough to project him as the undisputed face of a high-stakes state election. With Congress still speaking about “collective leadership” while Punjab politics increasingly revolves around clear and recognisable faces, is the party now caught between the political advantages and risks of fully embracing the “Channi factor” before 2027 ?
जैसे-जैसे कांग्रेस 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों की तैयारी कर रही है, वैसे-वैसे चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी को लेकर पार्टी के भीतर बहस भी तेज होती जा रही है। समर्थक चन्नी को जमीनी पकड़, दलित प्रतिनिधित्व और आम लोगों से भावनात्मक जुड़ाव रखने वाला कांग्रेस का सबसे जनप्रिय चेहरा मानते हैं। वहीं पार्टी के भीतर आलोचकों का मानना है कि सिर्फ लोकप्रियता और प्रतीकात्मक पहचान के आधार पर उन्हें इतने बड़े चुनाव में निर्विवाद चेहरा बनाना आसान नहीं होगा। ऐसे समय में जब कांग्रेस अभी भी “सामूहिक नेतृत्व” की बात कर रही है और पंजाब की राजनीति लगातार मजबूत और पहचान वाले चेहरों के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती दिख रही है, क्या पार्टी अब 2027 से पहले “चन्नी फैक्टर” को पूरी तरह अपनाने के राजनीतिक फायदे और जोखिम, दोनों के बीच फँसती नजर आ रही है ?
Congress in Punjab seems trapped in a political confusion where attacking the Aam Aadmi Party too aggressively risks looking aligned with the BJP, while staying soft risks losing opposition space altogether. As BJP and Akali Dal become louder on corruption, ED raids, and governance issues, is Congress slowly becoming a silent spectator while others dominate the anti-AAP narrative before 2027 ?
