Punjab Congress in-charge and AICC General Secretary Sachin Pilot formally handed over the responsibility to Mr. Pargat. Addressing party workers in Chandigarh, Mr. Singh said the Congress had a responsibility not only to contest elections but also to be the voice of the people and stand firmly for their rights.
