Chandigarh, April 18

The Punjab Congress on Saturday gave a call to party workers to raise slogans of “Jo Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal” and “Har Har Mahadev” on April 20 to express gratitude towards the frontline workers in the battle against Covid-19.

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Sunil Jakhar asked workers to raise slogans while staying indoors at 6 pm on April 20.

He further said the state unit had also announced to observe “Jaikara-Jai Ghosh Diwas” on Monday to express solidarity with the state government’s fight against coronavirus.

In a letter addressed to party workers and other people across the state, Jakhar said: “We are currently battling the largest war in the human history against the coronavirus-triggered pandemic. This is a natural disaster that we didn’t even know about earlier. Nevertheless, Punjab has recognised its potential under the leadership of our Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to defeat the disease and we have been able to control its spread to a great extent.”

Jakhar said Chief Minister Singh had been urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi continuously to help states in this critical phase to bail them out from unprecedented economic problems.

He appealed to the people of Punjab to express their solidarity with the CM’s demand to convey the voice of Punjab to the Centre.
