NEW DELHI,FEB 3 : The Congress Party on Friday suspended its Lok Sabha MP Preneet Kaur, who is the wife of Punjab’s former CM Amarinder Singh, for her alleged anti-party activities in favour of the BJP.

The party said she was suspended by the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) after the Congress chief received the complaint from the state’s congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.

 “Hon’ble Congress President has received a complaint from Shri Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, President, PCC Punjab alleging that Smt. Preneet Kaur, MP (Lok Sabha) from Patiala is indulging in anti-party activities to help BJP”, the party said in a press release.

“Some other senior Congress leaders of Punjab also share this view. The complaint was referred to the Disciplinary Action Committee of the AICC for necessary action. The DAC carefully considered it and decided that Smt. Preneet Kaur, MP (Lok Sabha) from Patiala, should be suspended from the Party with immediate effect.

Preneet has also been asked to show cause within three days as to why she should not be suspended from the Congress party.

“The party was getting regular complaints about Preneet Kaur indulging in anti-party activities & party’s state unit was demanding disciplinary action against her. The party’s Disciplinary Committee decided to suspend her. Showcause notice served to her, said Congress leader Tariq Anwar while speaking to the news agency ANI.

Captain Amarinder Singh, who is currently in the BJP, officially resigned from the Congress party in November 2021.

In his resignation letter, Captain Amarinder Singh wrote, “I actually felt deeply hurt by your conduct and that of your children, who I still deeply love as much as my own children, having known their father, since we were in school together since 1954, which is for 67 years now.”

Later, he formed his own party – Punjab Lok Congress – ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections, only to merge it with the BJP after the elections. He merged his party with the BJP in September last year.
