PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar today trashed the rumours of a Vigilance probe against party leaders and asserted there was no truth in it.

Describing party MLA and veteran sports star Pargat Singh as a role model for the youth, he said the party respects his sentiments. The main agenda of the party at present was to save the people from the Covid resurge and to punish the perpetrators of sacrilege incidents that happened in the previous regime, he added.

Jakhar said the Congress never indulged in vendetta politics. It was the principle of the party not to use constitutional institutions for personal interests or to settle scores and it was unthinkable to do so against its own MLA. — TNS

Rawat intervenes

Congress Punjab affairs in charge Harish Rawat called up Sukhjinder Randhawa and Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday, expressing concern over the sequence of events. He advised them not to escalate the issue as the high command was intervening in the matter. In light of Rawat’s intervention, the proposed briefing by the ministers and MLAs against the government action is likely to be postponed.
