He is ready to make sacrifices but will stick to the rules, said Navjot Sidhu

 

 Chandigarh : Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday said he is ready to sacrifice anything but would stick to principles.

He said his fight is based on pro-people issues and justice and he had no personal agenda.

In a video posted on Twitter, Sidhu, who resigned as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief on Tuesday, said he had joined politics 17 years ago to make the lives of people of the state better and could not compromise on certain things.

He said his fight is for Punjab and he did not hanker after any posts. He said he was not ready to compromise on principles.

Sidhu said he could not misguide the party high command, nor could he let anyone do so.

The video is being seen as an effort to clear air on the reasons being attributed to his resignation.

The Amritsar MLA said he did not believe in bringing back the tainted people and would fight this to the end.

In the video, Sidhu hit out at the Charanjit Channi government over the appointment of Advocate General and re-inducting ministers facing allegations of taint.

He said those very officers and the system that was responsible for all the misery in Punjab were back. “Where have our promises gone, but I will continue to fight against the wrong,” he added.

Sidhu gave an indication of his future political course, though he did not clearly spell out his options or whether he would leave the Congress.
