Chandigarh: Sukhpal Singh Khaira President PEP in a press release issued here today announced a 21 member coordination committee comprising NRI members, which will oversee the setting up of organisational structure of PEP in different countries. Khaira stated that in order to give fair representation to the NRI’s in the decision making process of the party, we have decided to appoint three NRI’s as Special Invitees to the PAC of Punjabi Ekta Party. Khaira said that the PAC and the State Working Committee of the party has approved the formation of 21 member overseas coordination committee in its meeting held today at Chandigarh. Khaira said the need for such a committee arose because we want to give a fair chance to all Punjabi’s to become part of our overseas organisational structure.
He said the said committee would contact NRI Punjabi’s worldwide and invite them to join PEP through a transparent and democratic manner. Khaira said the committee will ensure that the NRI Punjabi’s throw up their leadership through consensus, rather than foisting leadership upon them like the traditionally corrupt parties.
Khaira said the purpose of setting up a worldwide structure of NRI’s aligned with our PEP is to make them inclusive partners in the development, growth and prosperity of Punjab. He said that the traditional parties of India and Punjab have only been exploiting the NRI’s as a source of funding and have never bothered to cater to the needs and aspirations of NRI’s. The successive governments in Punjab have failed to render justice to the grievances of NRI’s be it securing their lives, liberty and assets. Khaira said it is common knowledge that NRI’s are often subjected to blackmailing through frivolous and false cases slapped upon them by the local police to squeeze money out of them. He said the so called NRI Sabha in Punjab has been headless for a long time now rendering it defunct.
Khaira said that this 21 member committee is being appointed on adhoc basis and its duty would be to setup PEP worldwide organisational structure within the next three months and once the structure is in place, this 21 member committee would provide support to strengthen the communication between Punjab leadership and overseas chapters. Khaira appealed to the NRI’s across the globe to contact the committee and come forward and join PEP for a better future for Punjab and the NRI’s.
