Navjot Singh Sidhu and other Congress MLAs visit Golden Temple
Navjot Singh Sidhu and other MLAs of Congress has visited Golden Temple in Amritsar today.
On Wednesday, the newly appointed Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and other MLAs of Congress has visited Golden Temple in Amritsar. Sidhu had invited all 77 Congress lawmakers to visit Golden Temple before he takes over formally the role of the Punjab Congress chief, but only 62 of them turned up at this residence in Amritsar, according to sources.
Perneet Kaur loyalist Deepinder Dhillon, a senior Congress leader from Zirakpur was also present at Sidhu’s house. Other prominent lawmakers included Raja Waring, Dr Raj Kumar Verka, Inderbir Bolaria, Barinder Dhillon, Madan Lal Jalapuri, Harminder Gill, Harjot Kamal, Harminder Jassi, Joginder Pal, Pargat Singh, Gobaya and Sukhjinder Randhawa.
“Game on. Sidhu 62, Capt 15,’’ tweeted BJP national spokesman RP Singh.
Media Advisor of Amarinder Singh, Raveen Thukral, in a tweet yesterday said, "The Chief Minister will not meet Sidhu till he publicly apologises for his personally derogatory social media attacks against him." “Reports of sherryontop seeking time to meet capt_amarinder are totally false. No time has been sought whatsoever. No change in stance… CM won’t meet Navjot Singh Sidhu till he publicly apologises for his personally derogatory social media attacks against him,” tweeted Thukral.
However, Congress MLA Pargat Singh said, "Why should Sidhu apologise (to CM)? It's not a public issue. CM has not solved many issues. In that case, he should also apologise to the public." "The day Sidhu was appointed as the Punjab party President, about 5 per cent of votes for Congress increased. The youth who were leaving Congress and joining the AAP party came back because of this. I am sure that at least 20 per cent of votes for Congress will increase because of Sidhu," MLA Madan Lal Jalalpur added.
