'You are free to take whatever action you wish': Congress MP Preneet Kaur replies to show-cause notice
Says she has always stood by her constituents, constituency and Punjab state and have taken up their issues regardless of which government is in power
New Delhi, February 6: Patiala Congress MP Preneet Kaur on Monday lashed out at the Indian National Congress (INC) for a show-cause notice to her over "anti-party" activities.
In a letter addressed to INC Disciplinary Action Committee's member secretary Tariq Anwar, Patiala MP Preneet Kaur said, " At the onset, I am surprised to see that a person who left the Congress party in 1999 on the issue of Gandhi being a foreign national, and stayed out for 20 years till 2019, and had to face disciplinary action himself, is now questioning me on a so-called disciplinary matter."
Talking about Punjab leaders, Preneet Kaur said, "Congress men in Punjab, who have levelled allegations against me, are those who have many issues pending against them. If you call my husband who was then Punjab Chief Minister, he will give you details about their doings. He protected them because they were from his own party. However, I suppose you will not do this."

The Patiala MP said, "As per your show-cause notice, I have always stood by my constituents, constituency and my state Punjab and have taken up their issues regardless of which government is in power. I hope you are aware that every minister of a Congress government in any state has to meet his department Union Government Minister, in this case the BJP government, to get their state's issues resolved. This was done in the past Congress Government in Punjab and today I am sure that it is being done by the Congress government in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan as well. I too shall always continue to meet the state and Union Government to resolve such issues, whether you like it or not."
Preneet Kaur said, "As to action against me, you are free to take whatever action you wish."
