Join Party Programmes Instead Of Setting Up "Own Stage": Pratap Bajwa To Navjot Sidhu

Partap Singh Bajwa, who is the leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly, asked Mr Sidhu to participate in the party's events.

Infighting in the Punjab Congress has come to the fore with senior party leader Partap Singh Bajwa asking former state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu to join the party's programmes instead of setting up his "own stage" while referring to the former cricketer's December 17 rally in Bathinda.

Though the former cricketer did not react, five former MLAs, who are always seen with Mr Sidhu, on Wednesday retorted that neither the former Punjab Congress chief nor they were invited to the events of the state unit.

Later, nine party leaders including an MLA demanded that the party high command show Mr Sidhu the door as "his actions often work against the interests of the party as a whole".
