Harvinder singh Hanspal - Sikhs The Supreme

Harvinder singh Hanspal, who has been two-time Rajya Sabha member. The Congress appointed Mr H S Hanspal as president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee as chief of the party in Haryana. The appointment of Mr Hanspal has come into force with immediate effect. Today’s decisions made by Congress President Sonia Gandhi are culmination of a long exercise in which names of several leaders from Punjab and Haryana were considered for the top party post in the two states.

Mr Hanspal, who has been two-time Rajya Sabha member, was at the AICC when the announcement about his elevation was made. Surrounded by his supporters, Mr Hanspal (65) told The Tribune that he would strive to take along all the Congress leaders and workers in the state.

He said that the party had won the polls on the issue of providing clean administration and he would carry the message of the work done by Amarinder Singh government to the people. A science graduate, Mr Hanspal was born in Sialkot, now in Pakistan, and was a secretary in the minority cell at AICC. By appointing Mr Hanspal, the Congress high command has given weight to the argument that the PCC chief should be a man of Chief Minister’s choice. Several ministers and MLAs in the past few days had been lobbying with the Congress high command to appoint a person of Chief Minister’s choice as PCC chief.
