Protesting against former Cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s attacks against Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh , more Punjab Cabinet Ministers on Wednesday sought disciplinary action by the party high command against Mr. Sidhu.
In a joint statement Balbir Sidhu, Vijay Inder Singla, Bharat Bhushan Ashu and Gurpreet Singh Kangar said that Mr. Sidhu’s targeted attacks on Captain Amarinder over the past several days were an invitation for disaster for the Congress.
Not ruling out a collusion between Mr. Sidhu and State opposition parties, such as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Ministers said, “It was quite possible that Sidhu’s targeted attacks on the Chief Minister were instigated by the AAP or BJP leaders to create problems in the Punjab Congress to further their electoral agenda in the State. This manner in which Sidhu had launched the offensive against the State government, particularly Captain Amarinder, suggested a conspiracy against the Chief Minister.”
