Manpreet Badal's PPP joined hands with Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Shiromani Akali Dal (Longowal) to form “Sanjha Morcha”

Chandigarh, Oct 17, 2011:

People’s Party of Punjab has joined hands with Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Shiromani Akali Dal (Longowal) to form “Sanjha Morcha”, a synergy to save Punjab from the distress that it finds itself in.

The four parties shall together launch an “Izzat Sambhal Yaatra” on 6th November from Dhudike. Dhudike is of immense significance as it marks the birth place of Lala Lajpat Rai, a man who epitomized the pride and self confidence of all Indians.  As a part of Yatra, we shall be travelling across the whole state over two months, where we shall explain to the people the deplorable condition in which Punjab itself in economically, socially, morally and culturally. Their pride and prestige are being compromised. “The scenario is so grim that if they don’t take control of the situation, Punjab’s name and the future of the generations to come shall be ruined forever by the most venal variety of politics seen anywhere in the world,” said PPP's President Manpreet Badal.

He expressed satisfaction that national parties such as CPI, CPI(M) and leaders of the stature of Sardar Surjit Singh Barnala and AB Bardhan have decided to associate with PPP. “Punjab is being torn apart by communalism, corruption, unemployment, disease, inequalities, pollution and depravation. PPP has waged a crusade against these evils and we fully support Manpreet in his initiative,” said the ex-Chief Minister Sardar Surjit Singh Barnala. As a part of this association, the four parties have formed a 20 member Sanjha Morcha Co-ordination  Committee that shall deliberate and guide on the morcha’s future course. In the committee membership, PPP shall be represented by Jagbir Brar, Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon, Kuldeep Singh Dhos and Gurpreet Singh Bhatti. From CPI’s side, Dr Joginder Dyal, Jagrup Singh and Bant Singh Brar shall be present while Com. Lehmber Singh Tagar, Com. Vijay Mishra and Raghunath Singh shall represent CPI(M). Gagandeep Singh Barnala, Baldev Singh Mann, Rupinder Singh Sandhu and Inderjit Singh Baghi shall be on the behalf of SAD (L).

S. Surjit Singh Barnala shall be patron of this alliance. Manpreet Badal shall be the Chairman while one person each from the four parties viz SS Johl, Nirmal Singh Dhariwal, Charan Singh Virdi, Baldev Singh Mann & Gagandeep Singh Barnala shall be Vice Chairmen.

“Izzat Sambhal Yatra” shall be a continuation of Jago Punjab Movement, Manpreet Badal said. “The movement, we started around a year back when I was expelled from Akali Dal for voicing my views and for not yielding to what I felt was wrong. We thought of launching a new political movement because it was necessary in view of depravity that had come to characterize Punjab politics. We were not sure that the path that we had chosen was correct or not. So we went to the people. We traversed all of the Punjab and then went to meet Punjabis in North America and everywhere we received overwhelming support, where common people expressed their solidarity with PPP and committed their unequivocal support for us. Today, we feel strengthened by the support of common Punjabis. Now we are going back to them again, this time apprising them of the extent of rot that has crept in our system and exhorting them to save our beloved state from heading towards perdition.”

All the people in General Council are totally focused on brining Punjab out of the morass that it currently finds itself in,” said Manpreet Badal.
