Wife comes out in defence,"Amarinder like his father said Navjot Singh Sidhu

Navjot Singh Sidhu's comment about Amarinder Singh not being his Captain, is the result of misrepresentation of facts, his wife Navjot Kaur has said. Three ministers of Punjab have openly criticised Mr Sidhu's remark, suggesting that he should quit his post in Mr Singh's government if he could not look upon him as the leader.

Sidhu had came under fire from four cabinet colleagues over his statement that Congress president Rahul Gandhi was his captain and that Amarinder Singh was “an army captain” on a question about his visit to Pakistan for the Kartarpur Corridor ceremony. They demanded he quit his post if he did not consider Amarinder Singh his leader.

“Navjot ji has repeatedly said that Captain Sahab is like his father. We have always made it clear that Captain Sahab’s respect and honour is above everything. Sidhu’s statements should be read as a whole and not in incomplete bits,” Navjot Kaur told ANI.


Sidhu’s remarks at a press conference in Hyderabad, where he was campaigning for the December 7 Telangana assembly elections, kicked up a political storm back home as the Amarinder camp took umbrage to former cricketer’s statement. Sidhu had gone even after Amarinder Singh advised him against the visit.
