The Punjab Congress on Friday reinstated party legislator Kulbir Singh Zira, days after he was suspended for indiscipline following his public outburst at an event. “The party has revoked the suspension of Kulbir Singh Zira,” Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar said here.
Reacting to the development, Mr. Zira said he was thankful to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, Mr. Jakhar and Punjab Congress in-charge Asha Kumari.
The suspension was revoked ahead of a meeting of Punjab legislators, office-bearers and leaders here to chalk out the party’s strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
On January 16, taking serious note of his public outburst, the Punjab Congress had suspended the lawmaker representing Zira constituency for indiscipline. The action was taken a few days after the MLA had left the party red-faced with his remarks at a district-level function to administer oath to newly elected sarpanches and panches in Ferozepur.
