Chandigarh, October 3

Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu is still far from mollified.

Days after he met Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi in what appeared as an attempt at extending the olive branch, Sidhu posted a tweet that indicated that differences still existed within the Punjab Congress unit.

“Demand for Justice in Sacrilege cases and for arrest of main culprits behind the drug trade brought our Govt in 2017 amp; Due to his failure, People removed the last CM. Now, AG / DG appointments rub salt on wounds of victims, they must be replaced or we will have No face,” he said.

Sidhu, the chief of Punjab Congress, submitted his resignation to the Congress leadership last week—a development that come two months after he took over the state unit after a prolonged power tussle with the then chief minister, Amarinder Singh. Singh attributed his decision to step down to some recent appointments made in the state, among them the Advocate General, Amar Preet Singh Deol.
