Meeting for survival of PPP soon

CHANDIGARH: If we recall the time when Manpreet Singh Badal laid the foundation of PPP at Khatkad Kalan which is famous as Shaheed Bagat Singh’s native place, he took the oath that he would work towards the betterment of the society and not misuse the power.  He also affirmed that he would not join hands with Congress or Akali Dal (Badal) in any given situation.

 And today the very same individual, Manpreet Singh Badal is not only supporting but is representing Congress in Lok Sabha Elections 2014. By doing this he has disrespected the members of PPP and also tarnished the name of the patriots. He has joined hands with one of the most corrupt party of the nation, besides Congress was behind the biggest genocide in the Sikh history.

Mr Arunjot Singh Sodhi, Former Founder Member of PPP stated in the official press note, “Manpreet Badal has lost his right to be called the President of PPP. He has betrayed the members of PPP and joined hands with Congress; He has filed in his papers as the candidate of Congress.” He further added, “ PPP’s norms and regulations were way superior than Aam Aadmi Party, But the people were unaware of the fact that Manpreet is also a part of the same league who play with the emotions of the innocent people. His distraction from the basic norms of the party was the major setback for the party.”

Mr Sodhi said, “I along with Mr Abhay Sandhu, Mr Bharat Bhushan and the members of PPP would organize a meet in which they would discuss the future of the Party and appoint the new President of the party.” He also asserted that, “When PPP President Manpreet Badal met Congress President, Mrs Sonia Gandhi he said he cannot directly join Congress because if he does so he will have to face the protest by PPP members. And for this reason he took the different road and mislead PPP members through Lok Sabha elections 2014. 

“United front has come to an end as CPI and CPI-M have already nominated their candidates from different election areas.” Mr Sodhi showed his concern, “The registered party should file a nominee from at least two seats otherwise the registration would get cancelled. Therefore the founder members of the party will hold a meeting and try to rescue the party from menace.”

Mr Sodhi concluded by saying, he would organize  an emergency meeting with Mr Abhay Sandhu and Mr Bharat Bhushan Thappar, nephew of Shaheed Sukhdev and finalise the new President of the party and save the party from the crisis.

Sanjha Morcha Demands Roll Back

Ludhiana:10 October 2013: (Rector Kathuria//Punjab Screen): The Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India Marxist (CPIM) and Peoples Party of Punjab (PPP) organized a joint dharna today at the mini secretariat to protest against the levying of fees on the residents for regularization of their property in the un licensed colonies and property tax on all categories of property. Addressing the Dharna various speakers pointed out  that successive governments in the past nearly three decades have not launched any housing scheme in major towns and cities, which has led to the proliferation of unauthorized colonies in every part of the state. People had to buy land at exorbitant prices at the mercy of real estate business and private builders. The ruling parties have formed clique with the private business and therefore intentionally did not carve out any housing projects. Even the GLADA has been selling land through auctions thus doing business instead of service to the people. The present government has crossed all the limits and has done nothing even for the very low economic groups. They have done their best to promote the regular revenue sources of earning of the state for their personal gains. Roadways is a glaring example where the busses belonging to the CM and his kins are being given the prime routes at the prime time. This has substantially reduce earning of the state through the state roadways transport services. Government is selling its land to generate money. This is a mockery with the people of the state. The parties demanded immediate roll back of the regularization fees. Where was the government when the unauthorized colonies were mushrooming and people were shelving out their hard earned income to buy place for living, the speakers questioned? The speakers warned that they will continue the stir till the above mentioned taxes are rolled back.

The speakers include Com Kartar Singh Bowani-Distrtict Secretary CPI, Com Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon – Member State Committee CPI (M), Com Amarjeet Mattu – Distt. Sec. CPI M, Dr Arun Mitra & Com D P Maur- Asstt. Secretaries CPI Ludhiana, Com Ramesh Rattan– City Secretary CPI, S.Jaskirat Singh Sargodha and Sh.Rajesh Gandhi from PPP, Com Sukhminder Lotey – City Secretary CPI (M), Com Gulzar Gorea, Com Jagdish Chand, Com Raghbir Benipal, Com O P Mehta, Com. Vijay Kumar, Com Gurnam Sidhu, Com  Gurnam Gill and Com Kewal Singh Banwait, Com Randhir Singh, Com Jatinder Singh, Com Devraj, Com Surinder, Com Manjit Singh Boota.
