Appointment of Navjyot Singh a huge factor!
Former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh has resigned from the Congress party. He submitted his resignation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday and formed his own party Punjab Lok Congress.
In a letter to the Congress President, Singh said, “Despite my profound reservations and over the unanimous advice of almost all the MPs from Punjab, you chose to appoint an acolyte of the Pakistani deep state Navjyot Singh Sindhu who had publicly hugged the Pakistan Army Chief Gen Bajwa and Prime Minister Imran Khan, as the President of the Punjab Congress Committee.”
“I actually felt deeply hurt by your conduct and that of your children who I still deeply love as much as my own children, having known their father, since we were in school together since 1954, which is for 67 years now,” he further noted in the letter.
“I hereby tender my resignation from the Indian National Congress in the interest of my state and my country,” Singh stated.
Singh was inducted into the Congress by Rajiv Gandhi the former PM of India, who was his friend from school. He earlier resigned from the party in 1984 but returned in 1998. Now that he is gone for good from Congress, he is expected to launch his own party soon, and also to make alliance with the BJP.
