The Congress party  has called a legislature party meet for Punjab today (September 18). As per details shared by the Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat ,  the party had received "representation" from many of its MLAs in the state to “immediately convene” the meeting, which will take place at the Punjab Congress' headquarters in Chandigarh.

He said in a tweet: “The AICC has received a representation from a large number of MLAs from the Congress party, requesting to immediately convene a meeting of the CLP of Punjab. Accordingly, a meeting of the CLP has been convened at 5.00 p.m. on 18th September at Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee office.”  “AICC directs the PPCC to facilitate this meeting.
