The Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), the flagship programme that chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar has been implementing despite stiff opposition, was at the center of Congress’ renewed offensive on Friday in the assembly. “This PPP is actually a permanent pareshani patra,” quipped Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader, after Rohtak MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra raised the matter.
