Amarinder Singh and Mr Sidhu have publicly sparred over the probe into the sacrilege issue after the High Court last month quashed an SIT probe report into the 2015 Kotkapura firing incident, in which police had allegedly fired at people protesting the desecration of a religious text in the state. Mr Sidhu has accused Amarinder Singh of evading responsibility in the sacrilege case.
