DW BUREAU / chandigarh Amid continued turmoil in the Punjab Congress, state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu will meet AICC general secretaries K C Venugopal and Harish Rawat at the party headquarters here on Thursday. The meeting comes after Sidhu had last month posted his resignation on Twitter apparently miffed at the appointments and cabinet reshuffle under Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Channi had last month replaced Amarinder Singh as the chief minister of the state and Sidhu was reportedly unhappy with the allocation of cabinet portfolios and appointments of the advocate general and director general of police. AICC general secretary and party in-charge for Punjab Rawat said Sidhu will meet him and AICC general secretary (organisation) Venugopal in the national capital for a discussion on organisational matters related to the party's state unit. "Sh. Navjot Singh Sidhu, President Punjab Congress will be meeting me and Sh. Venugopal ji for discussion on certain organisational matters pertaining to Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee at Venugopal ji's office on 14th October at 6 PM," Rawat tweeted. The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has not taken any decision on Sidhu's resignation while Channi and some state leaders have been trying to convince the Punjab Congress chief to withdraw his resignation. Sidhu in a cryptic tweet on October 2 had said, "Will uphold principles of Gandhi Ji & Shastri Ji ? Post or No Post will stand by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi" "Let all negative forces try to defeat me, but with every ounce of positive energy will make Punjab win, Punjabiyat (Universal Brotherhood) win and every punjabi win," he had said. Sidhu had earlier held meetings and deliberations with party MLAs and leaders and workers over the organisational setup. The office bearers of the new body of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) and district presidents are yet to be appointed. Sidhu was made the Punjab Congress chief in July despite strong opposition from the then Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. The party had also appointed four working presidents of the PPCC. Later, two general secretaries and a treasurer of the Punjab Congress were also appointed.However, after Sidhu raised questions over the appointments of director general of police, state's advocate general and "tainted" leaders, the party formed a coordination panel for consultation before any major decision is taken by the Charanjit Singh Channi-led government. Meanwhile, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday visited the home of former Punjab minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan in Gurdaspur district and offered condolences to the leader's family on his death. The AAP national convener had landed at the Amritsar airport, from where he went to Sekhwan's native village in Gurdaspur. Sekhwan had passed away on October 6 after prolonged illness. He had joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on August 26 when Kejriwal visited his house. Before joining AAP, Sekhwan was a senior vice-president of the Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa-led Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt). Sekhwan had remained a minister in the Parkash Singh Badal-led government in 1997. He again became a minister in 2009 in the Akali government. Kejriwal, who is on a two-day visit of the state, was accompanied by party leaders Raghav Chadha, Jarnail Singh and Bhagwant Mann. Kejriwal will also go to the Devi Talab temple in Jalandhar district to offer prayers. "During the holy festival of Navratras, Arvind Kejriwal will pray for peace, love, mutual brotherhood and a prosperous Punjab," Chadha had said on Monday. The Delhi CM is also expected to meet traders in Jalandhar on Wednesday. Farmers from Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states on Tuesday offered "antim ardas" ? the final prayers in the Sikh tradition ? for the protesters killed in the recent violence, with their leaders vowing to intensify the agitation against the Centre's new agri laws. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayant Chaudhary were part of the large gathering near Tikonia village, close to the spot where eight people were killed on October 3. Four of them were farmers allegedly mowed down by cars carrying BJP workers. Three others were BJP workers allegedly lynched later by angry farmers later. (editor@dailyworld.in)
