Sampla congratulated Jakhar for getting ‘new responsibilities’ in the party fold and welcomed him with a bouquet of flowers. Sampla also felicitated him by presenting a shawl.

During his meeting with Sampla, Jakhar discussed various issues being faced by the community and devised effective strategies to uplift their socio-economic status. The Punjab leader sought to ensure that the concerns of the marginalized community are heard and addressed at all levels of governance.
