Former Congress MP and Punjab Lokhit Abhiyan leader Jagmeet Singh Brar said today that he was not keen to join the newly-formed Awaaz-e-Punjab. He claimed that the AAP leadership was in touch with him.

Speaking on the phone, Brar said, “At this juncture, any new political party will not cut much ice. There will be a division of votes which will benefit the Akalis or the Congress. There is already a challenge to the Congress and the SAD from AAP.”

Praising Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Bains brothers and Pargat Singh, he said, “They are big names in state politics. They are credible and good people.”

About the name of the fourth front, Jagmeet, who is also known as ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’, said, “While finalising the title of my movement, I had made a logo of Awaaz-e-Punjab, but then decided to go for Punjab Lokhit Abhiyan. They have copied it.”
