Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu called on party president Mallikarjun Kharge and party General Secretary In-Charge of Communications Jairam Ramesh in New Delhi on Friday.
Sidhu took to Twitter to praise Kharge for the credibility that his name holds and said that he brings positive vibes to the party.
While tweeting with photos of the meeting, the cricketer-turned-politician wrote, "9 Times MLA, Thrice Member Parliament, Champion for the cause of underprivileged, voice of truth ….. 'Credibility thy name is Mallikarjun Kharge'. Met and took blessings of Hon’ble Congress President, he brings positive vibes and good fortune for the party."
Earlier, Sidhu met Congress leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi in New Delhi on Thursday. He referred to Rahul Gandhi as his mentor and Priyanka Gandhi as his 'friend, philosopher, and guide'.
Sidhu said that his commitment to Punjab and his leaders “will neither flinch nor back an inch.”
He took to Twitter to post about this meetingand said, “You can jail me, intimidate me, block all my financial accounts but my commitment for Punjab and my Leaders will neither flinch nor back an inch!! (sic).”
Soon after his release, Sidhu slammed chief minister Bhagwant Mann and the AAP government of using gangsters to silence the voice of the opposition and critics, in a reference to the killing of singer-turned-Congress leader Shubhdeep Singh aka Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead on May 29 last year.
On April 1, the cricketer-turned-politician walked free after spending nearly 10 months in Patiala jail in a 1988 road rage case.
The Supreme Court had sentenced the Congress leader to a year of imprisonment in May last year in the road rage case in which he allegedly thrashed a man named Gurnam Singh who had succumbed to his injuries. He was released ahead of schedule after showing good conduct behind bars.
