To resolve the infighting within the Punjab Congress unit, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on June 4 met the three-member panel appointed by AICC president Sonia Gandhi to apprise them of the outstanding issues within the party’s state unit. The three-member panel is headed by Rajya Sabha leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge along with Delhi MP JP Agarwal & AICC general secretary in-charge of Punjab, Harish Rawat. Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has been kept in the loop of all the developments taking place with several Punjab leaders.
