Shergill, a lawyer by profession and one of the prominent among young Congress leaders, on August 24, tendered his resignation claiming that the vision of the decision-makers no longer was in sync with the aspirations of the youth.
Former Punjab Congress chief Jakhar too parted ways with the Congress.
