Sidhu appointed Punjab Congress President

Rejecting all opposition to his elevation, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Sunday appointed Navjot Singh Sidhu as the party's new Punjab unit chief along with four Working Presidents.

Sangat Singh Gilzian, Sukhvinder Singh Danny, Pawan Goel, and Kuljit Singh Nagra have been appointed Working Presidents.

Sidhu's name was opposed by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh who wrote a letter to the Congress President. On Saturday, party's state in-charge Harish Rawat flew to Chandigarh to speak to the CM.

After the meeting, Amarinder Singh reiterated that any decision of the party chief would be acceptable but said he raised certain issues which Rawat said he would take up with her.
