Navjot Singh Sidhu missing posters with Rs 50,000 reward come up in Amritsar

This is not the first time that such missing posters of Navjot Singh Sidhu have cropped up. Ironically, Congress workers themselves put up similar wanted posters in 2009.

A non-profit organisation has put up posters accusing Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu of forgetting the promises he made to the people after winning the assembly elections. The NGO claimed that Sidhu had not visited his constituency for a long time.

This is not the first time that such missing posters of Sidhu have cropped up. 

As per a media report, Shiromani Akali Dal leaders put up such posters in July 2021.

Ironically, Congress workers themselves put up similar wanted posters in 2009.

Sidhu-Amarinder Controversy

The Congress had during the 2017 assembly polls promised to take strict action against perpetrators of the desecration of a religious text and the subsequent police firing in 2015.

Sidhu has been critical of Amarinder Singh after the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed the investigation into the Kotkapura firing case. Since then, a tussle has been triggered within Congress. A section of Congress says that the lawyer did not pursue the case in the court properly. Sidhu was the first to question the work of Captain Amarinder Singh in the Kotkapura firing case, accusing him of evading responsibility in the case.
