In a press release, Jagdev Singh said, that it would be a non-political body working across parties, forums, unions and other bodies.

“The decision follows feedback from lots of people within the state and also Punjabis settled abroad,” he said.

He said, that they had already had a series of meetings with dozens of people, including domain experts in the last few days.

They would also be engaging with Punjabis settled abroad who still evince interest in the welfare of the state and its people.

When asked why had formed a non-political body, Jagdev Singh said, that this was to facilitate interactions and discussions with the people who may have been a part of different political groups or parties.
