Punjab Congress’ crisis appears far from over. Today a video has gone viral on the internet, in which former PPCC Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu is using foul language for Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
According to the latest information, a video has been shot
near the Mohali Airport, where all political leaders were waiting for CM Channi
to join the protest march headed for Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.
Navjot Singh was heard saying, “This man (Channi) will sink
the Congress in 2022 (assembly election).”
Further, in the viral video, Pragat Singh telling former PPCC
Chief that Punjab CM can reach any moment now and a large population has been
gathered for the protest. To this, Navjot Singh Sidhu rudely replied, “We have
been waiting for him since long”.
Pragat Singh further said, “Aaj toh balle balle hogyi… This
event is a success.” “What success... if
the son of Bhagwant Singh Sidhu (Navjot Sidhu's father) has been made the CM...
I would have shown them success,” annoyed Sidhu said.
He waited for Channi till 1 pm and later left without him.
Sidhu is not satisfied with the present Congress government
in Punjab and to show his disappointment he announced his resignation on his
Twitter handle on September 28, but it wasn't immediately clear if the
resignation was withdrawn.
Meanwhile, Navjot Singh Sidhu reached Lakhimpur Kheri today, where over nine people
including four farmers, were killed in the violence. The convoy led by Sidhu
was stopped at Saharanpur and he was detained by police on Thursday.
