A day after announcing his retirement, cricketer Harbhajan Singh on Saturday, 25 December, said that he intends to serve Punjab, and might join politics.
"I know politicians from every party. I'll make an announcement beforehand if I'll join any party. Will serve Punjab, maybe via politics or something else, no decision has been taken yet," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Harbhajan also said that he has not thought about it but it (politics) is a "demanding job" and he would want to make a decision wisely.
The speculations started doing the rounds after Harbhajan recently posted a picture with Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Answering a question related to the meet, he said that he met Sidhu in the capacity of a cricketer.
"I haven't thought about this. I have offers from various parties. And I met Navjot Singh Sidhu as a cricketer."Harbhajan Singh
