Former Punjab CM and Congress LS candidate Charanjit Singh Channi clarified Monday his remarks that Saturday's ambush on an IAF convoy in Poonch was a " stunt " to help BJP win the polls, saying he "only criticised the mentality" of the governing party to exploit such strikes for political gains. Facing strong criticism for his remarks made Sunday, Channi scrambled to defuse the row for himself and his party. The Jalandhar candidate asserted that he always bowed his head to the sacrifices of soldiers. "I said that during earlier elections (2019), our 40 soldiers were killed in an attack in Pulwama and till date, the govt has not revealed who was responsible," Channi said.
