Bajwasaid, "Congress MPs from Punjab have been invited for the meeting onfarmers' issue and to discuss some issues of the party."
Thiscomes after two meetings on Saturday -- the first one between Chief MinisterAmarinder Singh and the party's state in-charge Harish Rawat in Chandigarh andthe second was attended by Speaker Rana K.P. Singh, Pratap Singh Bajwa and theChief Minister.
Theappointment of Sidhu as PPCC Chief has further escalated the Congress Crisisand it seems the party has been divided into Captain Vs Sidhu fractions. Itremains to see whether how INC President Sonia Gandhi will resolve the Sidhu VsCaptain row and bring everyone onboard as the party’s internal crisis isbenefitting opposition parties.
