People's United Front was a Post Poll Alliance of 7 Political parties and Independents formed in a Convention at Khanna on 4 March 1967,[1] in Punjab after the election of 1967.
The amendment sought to regret the omission in the Governor's address of the assurance to the use of Punjabi language up to the secretariat level.
Gurnam Singh vigorously contended that the acceptance of the opposition amendment did not amount to rejection of any of the policies of the government.
[citation needed] On 22 November 1967 before the Punjab Legislative Assembly met for its winter session Lachhman Singh Gill revolted and defected along with 16 legislators from the United Front and formed new party named Punjab Janta Party.
Governor accepted the resignation but asked the Gurnam Singh to continue in office till an alternative arrangement was made.
