Indiscipline not acceptable: Capt

Asserting that party discipline was non-negotiable,state Congress president Amarinder Singh on Sunday said indiscipline of any kind was unacceptable and cannot be tolerated at any cost.

Asserting that party discipline was non-negotiable,state Congress president Amarinder Singh on Sunday said indiscipline of any kind was unacceptable and cannot be tolerated at any cost. He also claimed that the party high command had been briefed about everything related to the Moga elections and its aftermath.

Referring to claims made by two party MLAs,Brahm Mohindra and Randeep Nabha,Amarinder said the duo,besides some other leaders,had been asked to explain their absence from campaigning for Moga bypoll.

“Instead of explaining their absence,they digressed from the matter and went to the press raising irrelevant issues. Brahm Mohindra came to Moga only once only to excuse himself from party duty for the reasons best known to him. His token presence somewhere on the way does not mean that he participated in the campaign. He never went to any of the wards allocated to him,” said Amarinder.

“Despite his claims that he was not informed,he was very much intimated about the area allocated to him in a meeting he attended before the start of the campaign. If he was not informed about the duties,then how can he claim that I did not visit the polling booths 121,122 and 123?” Amarinder asked.

Referring to Mohindra’s personal grievances against him that he did not campaign in his constituencies in 2007 and 2012 polls,Amarinder said he campaigned for Mohindra on both the occasions like in any other constituency.

Meanwhile,Amarinder said Nabha had claimed he was suffering from high blood pressure. “So,we were all surprised when he caught in a brawl at Chandigarh Golf Course — not only bringing a bad name to himself but to the party as well,” he added. The matter has been brought to the notice of party chief Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi,Amarinder said.
