Drop Navjot Sidhu from Cabinet: Akali Dal

The Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday demanded immediate dismissal of Punjab Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu from the Cabinet after the State government told the Supreme Court that the Punjab and Haryana High Court was correct in convicting Mr. Sidhu in a 1988 road rage case.

“The presence of Mr. Sidhu in the Punjab Cabinet is not only untenable on moral grounds but is also a grave legal and constitutional absurdity,” an Akali leader said.
