Commenting on Sidhu’s threat to go on a hunger strike if the Channi government does not release the report on the drug menace and sacrilege cases of 2015, Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zeera said: “The issues being raised by Sidhu are right. But there is only one party platform for that. He is the party’s (state unit) president and he can raise it directly in front of the chief minister instead of choosing a public platform.”
Agreeing with Zira, another party MLA, Barindermeet Singh Phara, said: “Every concern raised by Sidhu has been addressed, as Congress as a party also wants to address the concerns of the people. But raising every complaint in a public forum is not good for the party’s image.”
Former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar too, has been posting cryptic tweets with subtle sarcasm on both the current and previous governments. In a tweet on Friday, Jakhar shared a video of Sidhu’s press conference and took a jibe at Sidhu for pointing fingers instead of blaming him.
