Punjab 🎉Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Wednesday withdrew his order summoning a special Assembly session on September 22 for the AAP govt to move a confid🐟ence motion.

The Raj Bhavan cited absence of specific ꦇrules on summoning the Assembly for considering only a confidenℱce motion.

The decision came after Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa, Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira and Punjab BJP chief Ashwani Sharma approached the governor, arguing that there wasꦿ no legal provision to convene a special session of the Assembly to just move a 'confidence motion' i🐬n favour of the state government.
