“The chief minister, Amarinder Singh has agreed to act. He will hold a press conference soon and give details on all these issues,” said ‘All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat and the former Uttarakhand chief minister’.

All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat said the chief minister has been given a time-frame by the three-member central committee to implement 18 poll promises.
“Bargari is an emotional issue in Punjab. We respect the emotions of people. The CM has been told to take action in accordance with the public sentiment within the legal parameters. On drugs, strong action has been taken. Action in pending cases will be taken soon,” Rawat told the media after his meeting with former Congress president and Lok Sabha member Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday.
Rawat also listed free power up to 200 units, Scheduled Caste scholarships, loan write-off of poor people, land rights of poor and further action against sand and transport mafias among the 18 points on which Capt Amarinder has been asked to take action.
The committee, comprising Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, former Delhi MP Jai Prakash Agarwal and Rawat, had discussed all these issues with Amarinder on Tuesday. The meeting was their second in less than three weeks.
Rawat goes soft on Sidhu: (Because almost all MLAs and Ministers were asking and complaining that CM Amarinder Singh did not address main manifesto promises of the Congress party since 2017 and so far):
Rawat goes soft on Sidhu: Asked about former minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s statements targeting the chief minister, Rawat said that the committee had taken notice of issues raised by him. “As for his statements, the committee and the leadership were aware. I have called for his statements. I will give him advice wherever needed. In case there is need for a direction, I will do the needful,” he said, going soft on the former minister.
All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi will take the decision by the first week of July and all, including Sidhu, have agreed to abide by it.
On the controversy over the government appointments given to two Congress MLAs Fateh Jung Singh Bajwa and Rakesh Pandey’s sons on compassionate grounds, Rawat said he had been told that they had agreed to thank the government and not to take these jobs. “Bajwa has agreed. I am to check with Pandey,” All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat added”: By Navneet Sharma: UPDATED ON JUN 23, 2021 02:22 PM IST: HT:
