All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge for Punjab and Chandigarh, Harish Chaudhary, in a written letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, demanded disciplinary action against former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
The letter, dated 23 April, said, “Having been in charge of the party’s affairs in Punjab since November till now, I also believe that Sidhu has consistently criticized the working of the Congress government, calling it corrupt and handicapped.” I told my hand. Shrimoni with Akali Dal (SAD).”
Chowdhury said, “Since the party was contesting elections, it was unfair for Sidhu to set such precedent. Despite my repeated advice to him to avoid such activities, he continued to speak against the government.
When asked about the complaint against former PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, Choudhary told India Today, “It is an internal matter of our party.”
Choudhary said that he is also forwarding a detailed note to new Punjab Congress chief Raja Waring regarding Sidhu’s current activities.
He clearly mentioned that the former Punjab Congress chief cannot be allowed to portray himself above the party and set an example for others to breach party discipline.
“It is therefore recommended that an explanation be sought from Sidhu as to why disciplinary proceedings should not be initiated against him,” Chowdhury said.
Meanwhile, Congress veterans- former Union Minister KV Thomas and former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar are already facing action from the party for their alleged “anti-party activities”.
