Punjab Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday said that his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, recently appointed as chairperson of Punjab Warehousing Corporation, and his son Karan Singh Sidhu, who has been appointed as Assistant Advocate General, would not be taking up the posts.

“My wife and my son both have decided not to take these posts. My son informed me that he would not be joining as people were unnecessarily casting aspersions on me. My wife told me that she too will not join, to which I said fine,” Mr. Sidhu told reporters here.

The Congress had been facing flak from the Opposition after the appointments.
