From a 22-yard cricket pitch to the hardcore political battleground, Navjot Singh Sidhu has dominated it all. However, his innings have not always been known for the winning runs. The cricketer-turned-politician has over the period of years made many comments and gestures that have stoked controversies. Here we look at a few that blew out of proportion.
Sidhu on April 22 had said Congress lost the Punjab elections because of the "mafia raj" that prevailed in the state and it now needed to reinvent itself, and praised Mann as a "younger brother" and an "honest man".
Chandigarh DSP Chandel dubbed Sidhu's remark as "shameful". He even dared Sidhu to return his force deployed for his protection.
"Instead of doing the Bhangra all day CM Punjab should advice his home minister to get active and come out of denial mode," Amarinder Singh said in a tweet.
Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi and the party's state chief Navjot Singh Sidhu welcomed her to the party in Chandigarh. Ruby was earlier an AAP MLA from Bhatinda Rural.
Rawat also claimed that Sidhu will consider the party high command's decision to be final.
Sidhu also skipped the wedding ceremony of the Chief Minister's son. He did not cite any reason for his absence.
The video was apparently shot near Mohali airport when Sidhu and other leaders were waiting for CM Channi to join the protest march headed for Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.
Congress leader Navjot Sidhu said a report by the Special Task Force (STF) on drugs will finally see the light of day after two and a half years of delay.
Questions are being asked as to who is running the party. Congress working president Sonia Gandhi is facing health-related issues. She is unable to devote full time to the party. On her behalf, Rahul Gandhi is taking important decisions.
As reports of the politician resigning surfaced on the Internet, social media was abuzz with funny memes and jokes about Archana Puran Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu and The Kapil Sharma Show.
Upon returning from a regional security conference, the Punjab MP also asserted that the only ones happy with the ongoings was Pakistan.
As Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns, netizens joked about how he can return to The Kapil Sharma Show. They also shared memes about Archana Puran Singh and imagined her reaction to the news.
Lok Sabha MP Amar Singh had been advisor to Sidhu when he was the local bodies minister. Later, Singh, a former IAS officer of Madhya Pradesh cadre, successfully fought the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Fatehgarh Sahib (SC) seat.
The case was lodged against unidentified persons who came from different districts of Punjab and assembled at Punjab Congress Bhawan.
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday pitched for providing up to 300 units of free electricity and round-the-clock power supply to consumers in Punjab.
According to reports, Sidhu had left from his residence in Patiala to meet Rahul Gandhi in Delhi today.
The cricketer-turned-politician also slammed SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal for his Friday's tweet in which the former deputy chief minister accused Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh of implicating the SAD leadership in false cases at the alleged instance of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
The Punjab CM also dared the ex-Punjab minister and Amritsar MLA to contest Assembly polls against him from Patiala.
