Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Capt Amarinder Singh today categorically said the Punjab Bachao Yatra was being organised by the state Congress and would be led by him in coordination with party’s state affairs incharge Gulchain Singh Charak.
Referring to the reports in certain sections of the media quoting some anonymous leaders and unconfirmed sources that the party high command had not nominated any particular leader and it would be a collective effort, the PPCC president made it clear that the programme had been chalked out in due consultation with the party incharge and he along with Charak would be leading the yatra and addressing public meetings across the state.
Gulchain Singh CharakAt the same time, he averred, all the senior leaders of the party were being involved and associated with the yatra and they would be a part and parcel of it. The former Chief Minister pointed out, “It is quite natural that the PPCC president should and will be leading any and all the programmes of the party in the state in coordination and consultation with the party incharge and other party colleagues in the state. Any confusion or misinterpretation is quite unwanted and undesired and can lead only to confusion, which the party can ill afford at this time.”
