Sidhu took to Twitter on Sunday, making public his resignation letter dated June 10 addressed to Congress President Rahul Gandhi
With Sidhu in a self-imposed exile, his future in the Congress depends not just on apotheosizing the Gandhis but also on his acquiescence to Amarinder Singh
Sidhu has been at loggerheads with Amarinder Singh
Amarinder had recently said he intended to change the cricketer-turned-politician's portfolio of local government department over the party's performance in the Lok Sabha polls
He alleged the slogans were of 'jo bole so nihaal' and was shown as in favour of Pakistan in the video
A controversy erupted when Sidhu in Hyderabad called Congress President Rahul Gandhi his 'captain' and Amarinder an 'army captain'
Punjab minister Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria said that Sidhu should put down his papers if he disapproved Amarinder as the state chief minister
Pak army chief chose to hug him in full public view, a gesture which made Sidhu forget that the Pak army supported the Khalistan movement
Sidhu said he is disappointed and hurt over the criticism over this sudden meeting and "emotional reaction"
The Punjab government on Thursday sought conviction of state's minister Navjot Singh Sidhu in a road rage case.Lawyer appearing for the Punjab government told Supreme Court that the statement given by Sidhu denying his involvement in the case was false.The incident dates back to December 27, 1988 when Sidhu had allegedly hit one Gurnam Singh, 65, in an incident of road rage at Patiala, Punjab, resulting in death of Gurnam.The trial court had acquitted Sidhu, whereas the Punjab and Haryana High Court reversed his acquittal, convicting him under Section 304 Part II, IPC, for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.Victim family has appealed to the Supreme Court that earlier imprisonment sentence of three years given by Punjab & Haryana High Court should be enhanced. However, the Punjab government has appealed the apex court to uphold three-year imprisonment.
The IT department noted that Sidhu had failed to provide documentary evidence, such as bills or invoices in support of his claim during the course of assessment proceedings
Earlier on March 22, Sidhu concluded his arguments in connection with the case before the apex court
After he accused the SAD-BJP regime of framing toothless law on outdoor advertising
Indicating about Sidhu, Naresh Agrawal said there is a discussion in media about Punjab's case

Sources said for this very reason Jaitley, Ravi Shankar Prasad surrendered their bar licence
