'Breach Of Trust': Congress Leader Sunil Jakhar Responds To Navjot Sidhu's Resignation

Former Punjab Congress Chief Sunil Jakhar further stated Tuesday's political development in Punjab as a "breach of trust."

New Delhi: Former Punjab Congress Chief Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday said that the recent resignation of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief Navjot Singh Sidhu shows the faith that the Congress high command had reposed on Sidhu being compromised. He further stated Tuesday's political development in Punjab as a "breach of trust."

Earlier on July 18, former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu had taken over the position of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief from Jakhar. Recently, Captian Amarinder Singh also resigned from the post of Punjab Chief Minister while accusing the Congress high-command of humiliating him.

"It’s just not cricket! What stands compromised in this entire ‘episode’ is the faith reposed in the (outgoing?) PCC President by the Congress Leadership. No amount of grandstanding can justify this breach of trust placing his benefactors in a peculiar predicament," Sanjay Jakhar tweeted on Tuesday.

Sidhu has mentioned in his resignation letter that he can never compromise with Punjab's future and agenda for the welfare of Congress. Sidhu has also mentioned that he will continue to serve the Congress party.

"The collapse of a man's character stems from the compromise corner. I can never compromise on Punjab's future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. I will continue to serve the Congress," Navjot Sidhu wrote in his resignation letter.
