The AAP spokesperson’s remarks came after Sidhu joined the dharna of guest teachers outside Kejriwal’s residence. Guest teachers of Delhi government were protesting demanding regularization of their jobs.

Addressing the media persons, Mr. Sidhu said, “There are 22,000 guest teachers working as bonded labourers.”

“When our education minister Manish Sisodia invited the education minister of Punjab for a debate on the state of education, he ran away,” he said.

Criticizing the Punjab Congress over its internal issues, Mr. Chadha said, “We have nothing to do with the internal problems of Punjab Congress. The party is becoming an irrelevant force in Punjab today. There is no political dominance left. They Fighting amongst themselves.”

Mr. Chadha said, “The Congress itself is the opposition of its own party.”
