Four Punjab Ministers Seek Navjot Singh Sidhu's Suspension From Congress

Earlier, three other ministers had also urged the Congress high-command for strict disciplinary action against Navjot Singh Sidhu for his "outbursts" against the Punjab chief minister.

Four Punjab ministers sought the suspension of Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu from the party today for repeatedly targeting Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, alleging that the Amritsar East MLA's attacks might be instigated by the Aam Aadmi Party or the BJP. Earlier, three other ministers -- Brahm Mohindra, Sunder Sham Arora and Sadhu Singh Dharamsot -- had urged the Congress high-command for strict disciplinary action against Sidhu for his "outbursts" against the chief minister. The cricketer-turned-politician's "provocative and targeted" attacks on the chief minister are an "invitation for disaster" for the Congress, state ministers Balbir Sidhu, Vijay Inder Singla, Bharat Bhushan Ashu and Gurpreet Singh Kangar said today. "He (Mr Sidhu) should be immediately suspended, if not expelled, as his continued presence in the Punjab Congress is creating a mess in the party's state unit and diverting its attention from the more important task of gearing up for the polls," they added.
