Pritam Singh Charged with Lying to Parliamentary Committee

The Workers' Party chief pleads not guilty, facing potential jail time and fines amid concerns over political repercussions.

Pritam Singh, Leader of the Opposition and Workers' Party (WP) chief, faces charges of lying to a parliamentary committee, pleading not guilty.
The charges stem from a case involving former WP member Raeesah Khan, who lied in parliament about a rape case.
If convicted, Singh could face up to three years in jail and fines, but his eligibility to remain an MP depends on the court's interpretation of the Constitution.
Political analysts believe the charges could damage the WP's reputation and Singh's credibility, especially among non-partisan voters.
Support within the WP for Singh remains strong, with analysts suggesting the party will rally behind him.
