Senior Congress Leader and Former Vice President Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee & Member AICC, MM Singh Cheema, has taken up the matter with Congress High Command of inner party rumblings which is coming to public domain through the media. This is seriously harming the interest of Congress Party in the crucial time when Government is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic battle and Assembly elections are around the corner.
Cheema said all those selective media leads which are emerging requires urgent redressal, as state party unit was dissolved in January, 2020 with all the State Office Bearers, District Congress Committees, Block Congress Committees were dissolved by the direction of AICC. This situation would not have risen had there been a Regular PPCC President and closer coordination between the Party and the Government.
Cheema stated in the backdrop of the resolution adopted in yesterday concluded Central Congress Working Committee to take stock of the situation in view of the Party rumblings in recently concluded assembly elections of Kerala, Assam, West Bengal & Tamil Nadu and developments in Punjab are of concern.
Cheema in a letter requested Congress President Sonia Gandhi to issue directions urgently to all the congress men whether in the Government , Legislature or in the party to not to air their differences, perception and issues of concern in the media where it is widely construed that these are the motivated information leaks and clash of egos of certain leaders.
A strict party discipline need to be maintained via appointing a new Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President and the party setup as the present situation is leaving a bad impression in the masses, as why these leaders kept mum when they were in the Government or in the party over the actions or inactions and implementation of election promises made during the 2017 election campaigns of which they were very much the part.
