PPCC general secretary Ramesh Singla said the meeting would also be attended by members of the district Congress committees, MLAs, MPs and heads of the frontal organisations. It would be followed by a meeting of the district Congress presidents.

Singla repeated the demand earlier made by PPCC chief Amarinder Singh demanding resignation of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, "who had lost the confidence of the people as reflected in the mandate given by the people in the state".
