The Aam Aadmi Party’s faction in Punjab led by Sukhpal Singh Khaira on Tuesday constituted a five-member committee to resolve internal differences within the State unit.

Former Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Mr. Khaira said that members will hold discussions with other members to resolve differences over autonomy for the State unit and other matters.

Five members

The five members are Kanwar Sandhu, Nazar Singh Mansahia, Baldev Singh, Jagdev Singh (all MLAs) and Suresh Sharma.

“The talks, if any, with our party colleagues will be on the basis of the six resolutions passed at the AAP volunteers’ convention at Bathinda on August 2,” said Mr. Khaira.

He said the party will hold a ‘peoples’ march’ from Kotkapura to Behbal Kalan to Bargari on October 7 to ensure justice on the basis of the Justice Ranjit Singh Commission report.

Open letter to CM

Kanwar Sandhu, spokesman for the party, released copies of the open letter the AAP had written to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh demanding a special session of the State Assembly to discuss issues of farmers and farm labour, including suicides, debt relief and State policy for them.
