Bathinda, April 11
Taking a serious note of the absence of party leaders belonging to the Captain Amarinder Singh camp at the Amritsar conference, PPCC chief Rajinder Kaur Bhattal is learnt to have asked the various factions to tone down their alleged differences.
Aware of the factionalism among the party MLAS in Bathinda district, Bhattal has ordered them to work collectively to make the Baisakhi conference a success. A five-member coordination committee has also been formed in this regard.
Tej Parkash Singh has been appointed as the chairman of the committee while Amarjeet Singh Samra, Bir Davinder Singh, Avtar Singh Brar and Jasveer Singh have been appointed as members of the panel.
It may be recalled that the rivalry between Harminder Singh Jassi, MLA Bathinda and Jeet Mohinder Singh, MLA Talwandi Sabo, had surfaced in the open at a conference held in Bathinda on April 8.
Sources said that the PPCC chief, through a phone call, has restricted Harminder Singh Jassi, Jeet Mohinder Singh, Gurpreet Kangar and Makhan Singh, all MLAs from Bathinda district, from making remarks against each other from the stage at the Baisakhi conference. Bhattal has also reportedly asked them not to intervene in each other's constituency.
Avtar Singh Brar said over the phone, "All MLAs and workers have assured of making their best efforts to make the conference a success. We have visited the site of the conference in Talwandi Sabo to make the necessary arrangements."
The conference is being supervised and coordinated by a committee. No senior leader from the Centre is expected to visit on the day. Moreover, Margaret Alva, in-charge Punjab Congress affairs, is also busy with elections in Karnatka. So, she too will not be able to attend the conference, Brar added.
It may be mentioned that the Congress MLAs had called a press conference in Bathinda today, which could not take place as party MLA Jeet Mohinder Singh turned up late for the event.
