Breaking News : Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Punjab Congress chief

In a sudden development, Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from his post on Tuesday.

Sidhu sent his resignation letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi in which he said that he will continue to serve the Congress.

“The collapse of a man’s character stems from the compromise corner, I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee,” Sidhu said in his letter sent to Gandhi.

He, however, did not explain about the “compromise” part mentioned int he letter.

This comes on a day when former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh is coming to Delhi. There is speculation that he will meet home minister Amit Shah, though there is no confirmation from both sides.
