Punjab Congress leader Pawan DewanLUDHIANA: Pawan Dewan, the general secretary of Congress' Punjab unit, has demanded removal of local bodies minister Navjot Singh Sidhu seeking sedition case against him.
Dewan urged chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh to remove Sidhu as he had not only betrayed the country, but also hurt the sentiments of people. He also urged Congress president Rahul Gandhi to expel Sidhu from the party.
“Such traitors should have no place in the Congress party which has a history of sacrifices for the unity and integrity of the country right from Mahatama Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh”, the Congress leader said while suggesting that Sidhu should be packed off and dispatched back to the BJP.
He said, such senseless statements like those made by Sidhu only antagonise and alienate people from a nationalist party like Congress. He said, the party must dissociate itself from Sidhu’s statement before throwing him out.
"Sidhu by defending Pakistan when the entire world knew it was behind the terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 40 soldiers, has proved his loyalties more for Pakistan than his own country"
Dewan asked Sidhu that he should give up his Z-Plus security and the bulletproof vehicle and go to the border while preaching peace with Pakistan.
"We want bullet for bullet and not bulletproof vehicles for traitors like Sidhu, who are speaking the language of Pakistan while enjoying the perks and privileges of power,” Dewan added.
