Jalandhar, September 7, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Former Punjab Deputy Chief Minister and Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Monday said the Congress does not believe in caste politics and stands for equality and unity.
Addressing a protest at Desh Bhagat Yadgar Hall in Jalandhar, Randhawa began his remarks by quoting a line from the Akal Ustat — “Recognize all humanity as one” — and said the people of Punjab do not believe in casteism.
“We all sit together as one Sangat and one Pangat. Mallikarjun Kharge, the national president in Delhi, and Charanjit Singh Channi in Punjab are all our brothers. The Congress strongly condemns such divisive statements that seek to divide the country, and the Congress as a whole does not believe in casteism,” he said.
Randhawa demanded that an FIR be registered against those who carried out the purification of the stage in Haldwani as well as those who supported the act.
He also demanded cancellation of the FIR registered against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, arguing that filing a case against those who raised their voice against the purification incident was completely wrong.
Randhawa reiterated that caste has no place in Punjab’s politics and called for action against attempts to create divisions on caste lines.
