Punjab: Congress MLAs hold parallel meeting in Ropar

Punjab: After a breakfast meeting of Congress MLAs at the Ropar residence of senior Congress leader and former Speaker Rana KP Singh took a political turn, some MLAs held a meeting at the residence of party leader Brinder Dhillon. According to an internal party letter issued from CLP leader Pratap Bajwa’s office, all Congress MLAs were asked to pay obeisance at Takht Kesgarh Sahib and Kiratpur Sahib and then gather at Rana’s residence before attending the special session in Anandpur Sahib.
Rana said there was nothing worth reading from the breakfast meeting held at his home. He said, “Being the leader from Anandpur Sahib, I had called the MLAs to my home.” After the session, some MLAs also held a meeting at Dhillon’s residence and criticized the AAP government for wasting money from the public exchequer to hold the special session. However, downplaying the meeting held at his home, Dhillon said that the meeting was called to discuss the problems of Ropar district in view of the government events taking place in Anandpur Sahib.
