Bajwa calls upon parties to unite in fight against SAD-BJP

Punjab Congress president Pratap Singh Bajwa today called upon all like-minded parties to join hands in fight against alleged anti-people policies of the SAD-BJP government.
"We call upon all like-minded parties to join hands in fight against anti-people policies and undemocratic actions of the SAD-BJP government," Bajwa said.
The PCC chief was here to pay tributes to Youth Congress leader Sukhraj Singh Bhagupur who was killed in pre-poll violence.
Bajwa announced a grant of Rs 11 lakh from the PPCC to the family of Bhagupur beside Rs 5 lakh announced by local Congress leaders and Rs 5 lakh by Youth Congress' state unit chief Vikram Singh Chaudhary.

Addressing a gathering, Bajwa said Bhagupur was a promising leader and his death was a major loss to the party.
"Bhagupur, who was Congress candidate for block samiti polls, was killed by Shiromani Akali Dal goons," he alleged and claimed that pre-poll violence had claimed six lives and hundreds of Congress workers were injured and booked in "false cases" by the police.
"Attacks on Congress workers were pre-planned conspiracy of the SAD-BJP government," he added.
