Chandigarh, July 16, 2023।
Punjab Congress leaders today demanded party high command to expel Ashwani Sekhri for his anti-party activities and remarks against party leaders. All senior party leaders including former minister Tripat Singh Bajwa, MLA Gurdaspur and Dist. President Barindermeet Singh Pahra, former minister Brahm Mohindra, Deputy Leader of Opposition Dr. Raj Kumar Chabbewal, and working president Punjab Pardesh Congress Bharat Bhushan Ashu.
Lashing out at Sekhri, the working president PPCC said that he was AICC secretary in-charge of Gujarat from 1985 to 2022. The party gave him highest positions and responsibilities but he backstabbed the Congress. Ashu accused him of being the kingpin of a network of private colleges and perpetrating the SC scholarship scams. Such disloyal leaders must not be given a second chance to do damage to the party, he said.

Echoing the same line, Senior Congress leader Dr. Raj Kumar Chabbewal said Sekhri had been a long-time Congress leader, but his recent activities have been nothing short of sabotage. He said that Sekhri was given several chances, but he had been working against the party in Gujarat and elsewhere. His expulsion is long overdue and it’s high time now that the high command takes the necessary step to ensure that he is no longer able to damage the party.
Ashwani Sekhri double-crossed : congress
Former minister Tripat Singh Bajwa while saying that Sekhri met with the BJP national president Amit Shah today, added that due to serious charges against him, he was not received well by the senior leader. He also alleged that Sekhri had been involved in the anti-party activities for long and that he had been leaking very important party information to other parties for political gains. He was given numerous chances to improve his conduct but he just deceived the leadership.
Adding to Bajwa’s argument Barindermeet Singh Pahra said that Sekhri double-crossed the party during his stint in Gujarat. He alleged that he was given a huge responsibility to strengthen the party as the AICC incharge Gujarat, but he settled a secret deal with the BJP and started weaking its foundation. iPahra said that in lieu of weakening the Congress party in the state he was offered the Amul milk processing plants by the BJP to buy his loyalty which he sold. He said that Sekhri, who learnt the nuances of politics from Congress, has betrayed the party but he will definitely repent his decision like most of the rebel leaders.
