Party High Command keeping close watch on those trying to inflame dissidence: Jakhar
Chandigarh, May 20, 2021:
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Sunil Jakhar has cautioned party workers against a few leaders who were always trying to seek opportunities in any crisis situation.
Reiterating that at present the biggest challenge before us is to save the people from the wrath of COVID pandemic. He said any attempt to divert attention from this core issue cannot be termed as public interest.
Jakhar said that after the decision of the High Court to inquire afresh into the sacrilege related issue, of course the people of Punjab as well as Congressmen were more than concerned regarding the case but the Punjab Government and the Congress High Command were very serious about it and justice will be assured in the case. In such a challenging time the behavior of a few leaders trying to further their own agenda cannot be justified in any way.
The state Congress chief said that by giving false figures of the people reportedly attending their meetings, some leaders were creating the illusion of leading a campaign which is a figment of their own imagination. He cautioned the party workers against the leaders who were trying to seek accolades by giving an ultimatum to the government and said that the party high command was monitoring their actions. He further stated that any kind of support to such leaders would be a losing proposition. Instead of using their position to consolidate and strengthen the party these self-styled leaders are creating fissures in the party cadre to further their not so hidden agenda. “All workers should be careful of designs of such leaders who are pursuing their own goal instead of fighting the real issue of Punjab, i.e. Covid, he added.
“Still if some senior leaders are perturbed, the party high command is working to sort out the issues in an amicable manner. The high command is seized of the entire issue and working to resolve it soon. At present there should be no misunderstanding and attention should not be diverted from battle Covid as we are accountable to millions of people, they expect us to control the surge in pandemic effectively, he said.
Jakhar advised all the party leaders to focus on the program given by the government to check the spread of Covid. On May 21 the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi should be observed by doing service to prevent further spread of Covid. He asked the leaders to have faith in the party and let the high command resolve the issue soon.
