Manohar Lal Khattar made the statement amid farmers protest across Haryana, particularly in Hisar, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Jind, Sonipat and Rohtak districts, against candidates of his party and that of former ally JJP.
According to senior Congress leaders, the party will come out with the list of candidates before April 29 when the filing of nominations in the state begins.
JJP leaders say the whip was issued “to avoid giving an impression that the party was breaking-up”; MLAs who defy whip also absent themselves from Dushyant's Hisar rally
