Punjab Ekta Party chief Sukhpal Khaira today said three parties of the Punjab Democratic Alliance (PDA) would be merged.

Addressing the media, Khaira said said a unity committee would be formed under which three constituents of the PDA, Nava Punjab Party, Lok Insaf Party and Punjab Ekta Party, would be merged.

Alleging that Navjot Singh Sidhu was being victimised by the Congress, Khaira today said he was welcome to join the alliance. He said, “Sidhu spoke the truth. But due to political understanding between Capt Amarinder and the Badals, he is being targeted. The Congress tried to insult him. While portfolios of the ministers who lost haven’t been changed, Sidhu was punished.”

Says Sidhu victimised

Alleging that Navjot Singh Sidhu was victimised by the Congress for telling the truth, Khaira said Sidhu was welcome to join the alliance. He said, “Sidhu spoke the truth. But due to political understanding between Capt Amarinder and the Badals, he is being targeted. The Congress tried to insult him. While portfolios of the ministers who lost haven’t been changed, Sidhu was punished. We appeal to him to follow the path of truth. If he bids goodbye to the Congress, he is welcome to join us, we will respect him.”

Khaira said, “Supporters have been demanding merger of three parties under one banner. So our call is for ‘Ik nishan, ik vaidhan, ik pardhan’ (one symbol, one principle, one leader).”
