New Delhi, January 24
Former CM Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday made a startling claim that “Pakistan” lobbied for the induction of his bête noire Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Punjab Congress president, into the state Cabinet after he was dropped.
Shameful: Cong
It is shameful… Today, the challenges in Punjab are those of the farmers, MSP, unemployment. By raising such issues, he (Capt) is only trying to deflect attention. Supriya Shrinate, Congress
Talking about drones being used for “weaponising Punjab”, he said: “After I dropped Sidhu from my Cabinet, I got a message from Pakistan that he is an old friend of their PM and he ‘ll be grateful if you can keep him in the government. If he (Sidhu) doesn’t work, then you can remove him.”
Reacting to the allegation, Sidhu dubbed Capt a “spent cartridge”.
