A day after Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit cancelled the special session of the Punjab assembly called to bring a confidence motion, Chief Minister (CM) Bhagwant Mann today convened a cabinet meeting in Chandigarh after which he announced that the session would now be held on September 27.

CM Bhagwant Mann said that the Punjab government will soon approach the Supreme Court against Governor Banwarilal Purohit's decision to cancel the Assembly session. He said that issues of electricity and stubble burning will be discussed in the session. Punjab CM also accused the state Congress of standing with the saffron camp on the issue and supporting BJP's ‘Operation Lotus’. He slammed the Congress, BJP and Akali Dal for supporting the cancellation of the Assembly session by the governor. According to the Governor, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa and MLAs Sukhpal Singh Khaira and Ashwani Sharma approached him, highlighting there is no legal provision to convene a special session to move a confidence motion only in favour of the state government.
