Anandpur Sahib, December 13

Leaders of various regional parties from across the country would soon meet in Delhi to frame a strategy to tackle attempts of the Centre to “encroach upon” the powers and rights of the states, said SAD senior leader and former MP Prem Singh Chandumajra today.

He said he had visited top leaders of the Trinamool Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Shiv Sena (Thackeray), National Congress Party and Samajwadi party in this regard and all of them had agreed to meet in the third week of December in Delhi.

Chandumajra said the country’s federal system was being damaged as powers of states were being gradually “diluted by the Centre”. — TNS
