Bhagwant Mann: Why Capt Amarinder Singh kept 'Pak request' to make Navjot Sidhu minister secret?

Chandigarh, January 25

Ridiculing Capt Amarinder Singh for his claim that he received calls from Pakistan to make Navjot Singh Sidhu a minister, AAP’s CM candidate Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said why did he keep it a secret for so many years? Was it at the behest of Pakistan that Captain offered the ministry to Sidhu again?

Mann said the former Chief Minister was making such statements to disturb the atmosphere of Punjab during the elections as he had nothing left to say now. Mann, without naming anyone, said ‘Pakistan’ himself used to live with him in his house. Captain used to appoint ministers, DGP and Chief Secretary only after asking “Pakistan”. On Sidhu, he said the PCC chief had no topics of work or development to talk about. — TNS
