Chandigarh, October 23
The state unit of AAP today accused the ruling Congress of running away from public issues and questioned the government for not convening the monsoon session of the Punjab Assembly.
Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema urged CM Charanjit Channi to immediately convene the remaining monsoon session of the Assembly in order to discuss all remaining and public interest issues of Punjab. A 15-day session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly is required to be called to reach a permanent solution to these important issues related to common people. He said issues of sacrilege, Kotkapura firing, unemployment, loan waiver, PPAs, drug, sand, liquor, transport etc. remained unresolved.
In a statement, Cheema said the ruling Congress was not only running away from pending public issues but also making fun of the Constitution and norms.
Cheema said the Congress had dithered from convening the monsoon session under the guise of a special session dedicated to Guru Tegh Bahadur. The September 3 special session could not be technically and constitutionally added with the monsoon session. — TNS
