Upping the ante on the SYL issue, the Punjab Congress on Friday announced a massive action plan to protest against the Badal government’s failure to protect the interests of Punjab on the SYL issue, even as party MLAs, shouting anti-Modi and anti-Badal slogans, formally tendered their resignations from the state Assembly.
The Congress Legislative Party (CLP) met at the Assembly to discuss the fallout of the Supreme Court verdict on the SYL matter and decided on its plan of action to rescue the people of Punjab from the crisis resulting from the court judgement.
