Navjot Sidhu Resignation

A day after Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi sacked the party's chiefs in the five states where it suffered humiliating losses, the party's Punjab chief Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from his post today.

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Navjot Singh Sidhu said if he continues to be PCC chief, no MLA's son will get chairmanship, adding that he will resign if it happens.

Chief Minister Charanjit Channi said he had accepted APS Deol's resignation as the Punjab's Advocate-General, in a move that meets sulking Congress leader Navjot Sidhu's demand and signals a truce between the party's top two leaders in the state.

Punjab Advocate General APS Deol has hit back at Congress leader Navjot Sidhu - who has demanded his resignation over his representing two accused cops in the 2015 sacrilege and police firing case.

Navjot Singh Sidhu today said he has taken back his resignation as Punjab Congress chief but lost no time in serving a new ultimatum to his party. He said he will return to his office "when a new Advocate General is appointed".

A day after Amarinder Singh gave him top billing in his bitter resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, Navjot Singh Sidhu railed at the former Chief Minister, calling him a "fraud, coward and spent cartridge".

Ex Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday evening launched a searing attack on rival Navjot Sidhu in a letter announcing his resignation from the Congress, calling the former cricketer "an acolyte of the Pakistani deep state".

Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu met party leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday and withdrew his exit notice, a day after signalling an apparent climbdown. "I shared all my concerns with Rahul Gandhi. Everything has been sorted out," he said.

The Congress has been in turmoil in Punjab after Amarinder Singh quit as the chief minister and the party's state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from his post ahead of the crucial assembly elections in the state early next year.

Navjot Singh Sidhu is likely to stay on as Punjab Congress chief for now, sources say, with Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi reportedly agreeing to withdraw a top appointment in their meeting, the first since Mr Sidhu suddenly resigned on

Navjot Singh Sidhu said today he had agreed to meet with Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for talks amid Congress attempts to placate him after his resignation as state Congress Chief.

As the Congress struggles with exits and crises in states it rules, like Punjab, party leader Kapil Sibal raised a fresh set of uncomfortable questions for the leadership but stopped short of naming the Gandhis.
