All Congress leaders of the state will participate in this protest under the leadership of PPCC Chief. Raja Warring said that the AAP government had promised to deposit Rs 1000 to the bank account of every woman above 18 years of age in Punjab during the assembly election campaign, but this promise has not been fulfilled even after completing 365 days tenure. He said, "To get the rights of the sisters, the Punjab Congress will gherao the Vidhan Sabha and demand the government to fulfill its promises."

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Waring said that the 'AAP' government had also promised to pay a pension of Rs 2500 which is also not fulfilled yet.
