• People of Punjab demand Justice for Punjab's soul by punishing the main culprits behind the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Police firing incidents at Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan.
• The Big-Fish behind drug trafficking in Punjab as mentioned in the STF report must be immediately arrested and given exemplary punishment.

• Agriculture is the backbone of Punjab, and as we all protest against the Centre's three Black laws, Govt. of Punjab must not merely recommend amendments to a few clauses in the three Black Laws but reject them completely by announcing that they will not be implemented in Punjab at any cost.

• Our Govt. must fulfil your 2017 election promise by cancelling the faulty Power Purchase Agreements without any further loss to the State exchequer.
• Today, more than 20 Unions (Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Line-men, Safal-karamchari etc.) are protesting across the State. A compassionate leadership that is ready to listen and take steps for inclusive development of all is needed. Govt. must open doors for discussion, consultation and deliver what can, considering its fiscal means immediately.

Meanwhile, Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh told the newly constituted state Congress leadership that all the key issues of concern raised by them were already in advanced stages of resolution by his government, which had been working on them in close coordination with the party. -PTC News
