Congress welcome to take whatever decision it wants, says MP Preneet Kaur

Chandigarh (PTI): Suspended for her alleged anti-party activities, Congress’ Patiala MP Preneet Kaur Saturday said the party is welcome to take whatever decision it wants but asserted she always gave her best to the party.

The Congress on Friday suspended her and also asked her to explain why she should not be expelled for “anti-party activities”.

Kaur is the wife of former chief minister Amarinder Singh, who joined the BJP after leaving the Congress.

“The Congress is welcome to take whatever decision it wants. I have always given my best to the party and to the people who have repeatedly elected me. I owe it to them and will continue to serve them, as always. I derive my strength from my people. Everything else is secondary,” Kaur said on Twitter on Saturday.

Meanwhile, PPCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring accused Preneet of weakening the Congress in Patiala, and said she should leave the party on her own. “It would have been better if Preneet Kaur ji quit the party on her own. She left no stone unturned in weakening the Congress in Patiala,” claimed Warring. The Congress’ disciplinary panel secretary Tariq Anwar had said the action against Kaur follows complaints against her from the PPCC chief Warring.
