Punjab CM Mann holds meeting of AAP legislators
The Hindu
The move comes after the Governor cancelled the special Punjab assembly session.
A meeting of Aam Aadmi Party legislators chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is here underway on Thursday to discuss the next strategy after the Governor cancelled the special session of the state assembly called to bring a confidence motion.
AAP legislators on Thursday morning reached the Assembly complex for the meeting.
A meeting of the Punjab Cabinet has also been called after the MLAs meeting, party sources said.
Later, a march will also be taken out by the AAP legislators here, they said.
AAP MLA Dinesh Chadha said the next strategy will be decided at the meeting.
Another AAP MLA and senior leader Baljinder Kaur dubbed the Governor's move of withdrawing his earlier order calling the special session as a "mockery of democracy".
In an embarrassment to the AAP government in Punjab, Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Wednesday thwarted the Bhagwant Mann-led regime's plan to summon a special assembly session to bring a confidence motion.
