After being appointed President of the Punjab Pardesh Congress Committee (PPCC), Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu paraded scores of Congress MLAs from the Punjab assembly at his residence. The MLAs had gathered ahead of a trip to the Golden Temple.
Sidhu's appointment as Punjab Congress Chief comes amid a feud between him and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. Amarinder had reportedly objected to Sidhu's appointment after the latter launched a scathing attack on him in a series of tweets in May. After several meetings and negotiations with the Congress Delhi high command, Amarinder had said that he'd be willing to accept whatever decision they take. However, he expressed that he would not meet Sidhu unless he publicly apologised for his tweets.
