Navjot Singh is on the list of star campaigners of the Congress for the Delhi Assembly elections.
Pakistan has reportedly invited Sidhu to attend the inaugural ceremony of the landmark Kartarpur Corridor, which will be opened for pilgrims on November 9
Sidhu, a Congress lawmaker and former Punjab minister, has sought permission from the External Affairs Ministry to attend the inaugural ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor in Pakistan on November 9.
The agreement will allow 5,000 Indian pilgrims daily to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib where Guru Nanak spent last 18 years of his life.
On Saturday too, Sidhu was unavailable and did not react to the acceptance of his resignation
Asked if it was embarrassing for his government that differences between him and Sidhu were playing out in the public, the chief minister stressed he had no issues with him
Sidhu took to Twitter on Sunday, making public his resignation letter dated June 10 addressed to Congress President Rahul Gandhi
With Sidhu in a self-imposed exile, his future in the Congress depends not just on apotheosizing the Gandhis but also on his acquiescence to Amarinder Singh
Sidhu has been at loggerheads with Amarinder Singh
Amarinder had recently said he intended to change the cricketer-turned-politician's portfolio of local government department over the party's performance in the Lok Sabha polls
He alleged the slogans were of 'jo bole so nihaal' and was shown as in favour of Pakistan in the video
A controversy erupted when Sidhu in Hyderabad called Congress President Rahul Gandhi his 'captain' and Amarinder an 'army captain'
Punjab minister Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria said that Sidhu should put down his papers if he disapproved Amarinder as the state chief minister
Pak army chief chose to hug him in full public view, a gesture which made Sidhu forget that the Pak army supported the Khalistan movement
Sidhu said he is disappointed and hurt over the criticism over this sudden meeting and "emotional reaction"
The Punjab government on Thursday sought conviction of state's minister Navjot Singh Sidhu in a road rage case.Lawyer appearing for the Punjab government told Supreme Court that the statement given by Sidhu denying his involvement in the case was false.The incident dates back to December 27, 1988 when Sidhu had allegedly hit one Gurnam Singh, 65, in an incident of road rage at Patiala, Punjab, resulting in death of Gurnam.The trial court had acquitted Sidhu, whereas the Punjab and Haryana High Court reversed his acquittal, convicting him under Section 304 Part II, IPC, for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.Victim family has appealed to the Supreme Court that earlier imprisonment sentence of three years given by Punjab & Haryana High Court should be enhanced. However, the Punjab government has appealed the apex court to uphold three-year imprisonment.
The IT department noted that Sidhu had failed to provide documentary evidence, such as bills or invoices in support of his claim during the course of assessment proceedings
Earlier on March 22, Sidhu concluded his arguments in connection with the case before the apex court
After he accused the SAD-BJP regime of framing toothless law on outdoor advertising
