Pb Cong Campaign panel chief asks Dullo to resign from party

Punjab Congress Campaign Committee chairman Lal Singh Monday sought Shamsher Singh Dullo's resignation from the party and the Rajya Sabha claiming there were reports of rebellion by the ex-state unit chief whose wife and son joined the AAP ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

Claiming that Dullo is a "blot" on the Congress, whose exit would "benefit the party", Lal Singh said the MP has no place in the Congress after his wife and son joined the AAP and he reportedly declared that he would not campaign for the party.

"Dullo has been quoted in the media as saying that he was neither aware of who the Congress candidate from Fatehgarh Sahib was, nor would he campaign for him," the state Congress Campaign Committee chairman said.

Amar Singh is the Congress candidate from Fatehgarh Sahib (reserved) constituency.

The AAP on Sunday changed its candidate for the Fatehgarh Sahib seat, nominating Bandeep Singh Dullo in place of his mother Harbans Kaur Dullo, who had joined the party on April 16.

When contacted, Shamsher Singh Dullo said, "Let them say what they have to say and I will respond to each allegation at an appropriate time."
