Ludhiana, May 13 (IANS) Committing to serve the people and vowing to root out gangsters, Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Monday filed nomination papers from the Ludhiana parliamentary seat.

Accompanied by district presidents of the party’s urban and rural units, the attendees during the nomination filing included Balkaur Singh Sidhu, the father of renowned Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
