No it is not. Propane can be used as fuel during oxidation reaction however it is not an oxidizing agent. In a redox reaction such as combustion, propane acts as a reducing agent. Common agents are O2 and O3.

suggest other oxidizing agent that can be replace potassium permanganate
O2
The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
no
relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.

The effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents is that the substance being stained will not be stained. Iodine is the only oxidizing agent to dye the material.
by definition, a chemical behaves as an oxidizing agent only when it accepts electrons
