Chandigarh: Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday said the opposition INDIA bloc stands like a “tall mountain” and its grandeur will not be affected by a storm here and there.
The cricketer-turned-politician’s statement comes amid several Congress leaders in Punjab, including state unit chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa, opposing an alliance with the ruling AAP in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
He added, “Punjab must understand that this is an election to choose India’s prime minister and not Punjab’s chief minister.” “The I.N.D.I.A alliance stands like a tall mountain … a storm here and there will not affect its Grandeur !!! Any attempt to sabotage and breach this shield to safeguard our Democracy will prove futile,” Sidhu posted on ‘X’, formerly Twitter.
Sidhu’s remark comes days after the Punjab Congress leadership led by Warring termed the arrest of party MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira in a 2015 drugs case “political vendetta”.
