Congress sources had said a decision on Navjot Singh Sidhu's resignation letter as Punjab unit chief was expected today.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met his party's Punjab unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday a day after the latter signalled an apparent climbdown from his exit notice. Mr Sidhu had met party general secretaries KC Venugopal and Harish Rawat in Delhi yesterday and said he would follow any decision taken by the Gandhis.
"I have placed my concerns to party high command, I have full trust that whatever party president, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra decide, it will be for Punjab. I consider them supreme and follow their orders," the cricketer-turned politician said after the meeting.
A party leader, requesting not to be named, said, "A formal decision is expected tomorrow. Sidhu has retracted from his belligerent position of resigning as PCC (Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee) chief."
Earlier, Harish Rawat was quoted as saying by news agency ANI: "Navjot Singh Sidhu and Charanjit Channi have spoken on some issues, a solution will emerge...there are some things that take time."
