In the wake of the protesting teachers' detention by the police on Friday, wherein they had climbed atop the Punjab Congress Bhawan during the installation ceremony of PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, the agitators on Saturday announced not to hold any unplanned protest in the future.

The protesters had also planned the gherao of VIPs from Delhi near the Mohali airport on Friday, but their attempt was thwarted by the police and they were detained.
