New Delhi: Attempting to downplay Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu’s letter to party’s interim president Sonia Gandhi, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has said all matters will be resolved and the party’s agenda implemented.

“Be it 13-point, 18-point, 21-point or 24-point, whatever the agenda is will be implemented. No point will be left out,” Channi said.

“It's alright he (Sidhu) raised the issues... We have to implement the party's ideology. The party is supreme. All issues will be resolved,” he told the media in Chandigarh on Sunday when asked about Sidhu's letter, PTI reported.

The Chief Minister earlier on Sunday evening held a meeting with Sidhu during which Punjab’s Education, Sports and NRIs Affairs Minister Pargat Singh, considered close to the cricketer-turned-politician, was among those present.

Sidhu, who withdrew his resignation from the post of Punjab Congress chief, had earlier insisted on a meeting with party president Sonia Gandhi to present a 13-point agenda for the party’s campaign for the assembly polls due next year.

In his letter to Gandhi posted on Twitter, Sidhu said it is “Punjab’s last chance for resurrection and redemption.”

The letter dated October 15 was shared by the Congress leader on Sunday where he highlighted the agenda for the campaign, including justice in sacrilege cases, Punjab’s drugs menace, agricultural issues, employment opportunities, sand mining and welfare of backward classes.

In the letter, he sought time from her to present a Punjab Model with 13 point agenda to be part of Congress Manifesto for 2022 Assembly polls.

Sidhu had resigned as the Punjab Congress chief earlier on September 28. However, the Congress did not accept his resignation and suggested he meet senior leaders in the national capital.
