Twenty Ex-MLAs flay Jagmeet Brar’s indiscipline, seek immediate action and expulsion from party

CHANDIGARH, January 28: Over twenty former legislators Gurpreet Singh Kangar, Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon, Upender Sharma, Makhan Singh, Harmohinder Singh Jassi. Bhai Harnirpal Singh Kukku. Dr. Mohinder Rinwa, Hans Raj Josan, Surjit Singh Dhiman, Com. Nathu Ram, Inderjit Singh Zira, Gura Singh Tungwali, Amarjit Singh Samra, Avtar Henry, Swinder Singh Kathunangal, Harpartap Singh Ajana, Satnam Singh Kainth, Harjinder Singh Thekedar, Darshan Singh Brar, Dhanwant Singh Dhuri today criticised Jagmeet Singh Brar for resorting to indiscipline and embarrassing the party.

In a joint statement, the leaders said, the way Brar had publicly opposed the unanimous decision of the party to boycott Khadoor Sahab bye-election had only harmed the party’s image.

They regretted that despite being a re-inducting into the party, Jagmeet Brar has ones again breached the discipline of the party by going public with his statements. They further said that his statements warranted strict action against him and retreated that if he had any reservation, he should use party form to convey his feeling and not tweeted online. They said, when this was the consensual stand of the party to go for the boycott he had no reason to resort to malicious campaign against the PCC president.

The party leaders asked Brar as what was the purpose in contesting the election when the issue for which Ramanjit Singh Sikki had resigned continued to remain unresolved. “Wouldn’t contesting the bye-election have defeated the very purpose for which Sikki had resigned?” they asked Brar and told him to introspect before going public.

The Congress leaders urged the party high command to take strict action against Brar lest it damage the party image. “He has been doing it earlier as in the past he targeted the Congress president Ms Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi and now he has been targeting Capt Amarinder”, they pointed out, while adding that every time he does it he thinks he will get away with it at the cost of the party interest.
