The Punjab Government has decided to call a special Assembly session on September 27 and also to approach the Supreme Court against Governor Banwarilal Purohit’s decision to withdraw the order of summoning a session on September 22 during which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wanted to bring a ‘confidence motion’.
The Opposition parties launched an offensive against the AAP, a day after Governor’s decision. The AAP MLAs, on the other hand, held a ‘march’ from the State Assembly complex towards the Governor’s house, protesting against the cancellation of the special Assembly session.
The ruling AAP had announced to convene the special session of the Assembly on September 22 to bring a ‘confidence motion’, following the party’s allegation that attempts were being made to topple its government in the State by offering bribes to its legislators by agents of the BJP.
