Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Punjab Congress chief
Chandigarh: Senior Congress leader and former Indian Cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has resigned as the Chief of Congress Party in Punjab.
The move has come days after former Punjab CM Capt. Amrinder Singh resigned from his post reportedly after an internal scuffle with Sidhu and his elevations as the party’s state chief.
Sidhu in his letter to Sonia Gandhi has reportedly added that he will continue to remain a member of the party and has only resigned as its state’s chief.
"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 Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. I will continue to serve the Congress," Navjot Sidhu wrote in his resignation letter.

Police, priest, Dalit leaders ‘unaware of matter’
Raichur: The priest of the Ambabhavani Temple in Athkur village has been accused of stopping Dalit youngsters from entering the temple for a ritual related the Navaratri festival, although related parties, including the priest and Dalit leaders of the village, have denied knowledge about the incident.
A video of the youngsters, belonging to the Madiga community, who wanted to wear the ritual garlands for the festive period, being denied entry into the temple and the priest handing them the garlands keeping them outside the threshold has gone viral on social media platforms.
Yapaladinni Police officers, however, have said no police complaint about the matter has been filed so far. In addition, Dalit leaders in Athkur have said no such incident has occurred in the village, but the police officers are conducting an inquiry since youngsters have alleged that they were denied entry into the temple.
The temple priest has also refuted the charges against him, clarifying that action will be taken if a complaint is filed.
