Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat said he will lead the party in the coming Punjab elections. Meanwhile, Congress leaders have slammed Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's advisors Dr Pyare Lal Garg and Malwinder Singh Mali for their comments on "sensitive national issues" like Kashmir and Pakistan. Harish Rawat, Punjab Congress in-charge, says, "Sidhu's advisors have not been assigned by the party, such comments are unacceptable and we cannot accept those who are an embarrassment for the party... for those who appointed them, if need be I will issue directions to remove them."
