Amid the stand taken by Capt Amarinder Singh that he would not meet Navjot Singh Sidhu until he publicly apologises for his “derogatory” remarks, minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa has advised the Chief Minister to forget Sidhu’s tweets as he has “forgotten” the letters and public remarks made against him by Rajya Sabha MP Partap Singh Bajwa.

The Rajya Sabha MP was seen with the CM at latter’s Siswan farm house, signalling a compromise between the two leaders after a long spell of bitterness. Bajwa had been regularly hitting at the CM over the unfulfilled poll promises.

Apparently, reacting to the two leaders’ dinner meeting, Tript Bajwa, a bête noire of the Rajya Sabha MP, said Sidhu’s tweets and utterances could be forgotten as had been done in the case of Partap Bajwa. Party sources say seeking a return to active politics in the 2022 Assembly elections, Partap Bajwa was keen on a significant position.

Ghanaur MLA Madan Lal Jalapur also advised the CM to have a large heart and forgive Navjot Singh Sidhu. “Maharajas have a big heart. It is time to work together and end mafias”, he said. — TNS

RS MP clarifies

Clarifying on his meeting with Capt, Bajwa said they had discussed people’s issues. “The CM has promised to meet all MPs once every week over the 18-point charter given to him. Sidhu was not discussed,” he said.
