‘New PPCC body after issues are resolved’
Description
CHANDIGARH: Congress incharge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat on Thursday said changes in the organisational structure of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) would be finalised only after the concerns of the agitating farmers against the Centre’s farm laws are addressed. In the morning, he also met local Congress leaders. Rawat, who met with Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, on Wednesday evening, said the topic of discussion was the farmers’ protest. Since farmers in his home state of Uttarakhand too were up in arms, “we wanted to get insights from the Punjab CM”, he said. On talk of former minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s return to the cabinet, Rawat said it was for the CM to decide but he was happy that both Sidhu and Amarinder had broken the ice. “My job is done and I am glad that the chief minister took the initiative to invite Sidhu over for lunch. Now it’s between the two of them. Sidhu too has been very open minded and told me that he holds CM in high esteem,” he said.
