Rebelled leaders said that they have lack of faith in Captain that he would be able to fulfil the promises made to people including punishment to accused of sacrilege.

The four ministers including Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Charanjit Singh Channi along with around 30MLAs held a meeting in Chandigarh and demanded CM’s removal. They are on way to Dehradun in Uttarakhand to meet the All India Congress Committee general secretary and Punjab affairs in-charge on Wednesday and are likely to meet senior party leader Rahul Gandhi in this regard on Thursday, a senior party leader said.

“We do not have any faith in the chief minister as he has not fulfilled promises made before the 2017 assembly elections,” three of the ministers said after the meeting.

The unfulfilled promises such as delay in justice in sacrilege and police firing cases, arrest of the big fish in drug rackets and cancellation of power purchase agreements listed by them are part of the 18-point agenda handed by the central leadership to the chief minister two months ago for implementation. Randhawa told reporters that they had no confidence left in him (Amarinder), but changing the chief minister was the prerogative of the party high command.

PPCC chief, who was not part of the meeting, met the rebelled leaders later and later posted a photo with caption that Got a call from Tripat Bajwa ji asking for an emergency…Met him along with other colleagues at the PPCC office. Will appraise the high command of the situation.

The CM Captain will be heading group, which has been asked to hold weekly meeting for a smooth coordination between government and party leaders.

The Group will have Local Government Minister Brahm Mohindra, Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal and Social Security Minister Aruna Chaudhary as members, along with Sidhu, the four party working presidents – Kuljit Singh Nagra, Sukhwinder Singh Danny, Sangat Singh Gilzian and Arun Goel.

The newly appointed party general secretary (organisation) Pargat Singh has also included in this group by the CM.

The decision was taken this morning when Sidhu, along with Nagra and Pargat, called on the CM to discuss Punjab related issues and steps to strengthen party-government coordination.

“The Group will hold weekly meetings, in consultation with other ministers, experts etc as may be required. It will discuss and reviews the progress of the various state government initiatives already under implementation, and will also suggest measures to expedite the same,” CM said.

In another decision, Captain Amarinder has also assigned his cabinet colleagues the task of being available in Punjab Congress Bhawan every day, by rotation, for meetings with MLAs and other party functionaries to discuss issues relating to their constituencies/areas and address any grievances.

One minister each will be available at the Congress Bhawan from Monday for three hours (11 a.m. to  2 p.m), and in any case the minister deputed for a particular day is unable to make it for some reason, he/she shall arrange for a substitute in consultation with any other minister. The arrangement will be in place five days in a week, from Monday to Friday, said the Chief Minister, adding that this will help in better coordination between his government and party functionaries in the run-up to the 2022 Assembly elections.

In a recent Facebook posts, Mali wrote, “Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris. Going against the tenets of the UNO resolutions, India and Pakistan have illegally usurped the Kashmir territory. If Kashmir was a part of India then what was the need to have Articles 370 and 35-A. What was the special agreement with King Hari Singh? Tell people what were the terms of the agreement,” Mali said in his recent posts on Facebook.”

Opposition leaders have launched fierce attack on Sidhu and Mali following the statement and SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said sought an FIR against him by stating that does he stand with forces which are working against the nation? Kashmir is an integral part of India.
