Amritsar: Navjot Singh Sidhu has been made the president of the Punjab Congress unit, but the confrontation within the party is far from over. The tension between Sidhu and Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh is still going on. Meanwhile, newly-elected Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu reached the Golden Temple in Amritsar today. Here he bowed his forehead. He was accompanied by a large crowd of ministers and MLAs. These are considered to be a kind of power demonstration.

It may be recalled that Sidhu has been meeting supporters since the coronation. Today he had invited all party MLAs for breakfast at his home in Amritsar. Now most of the MLA are seen with Sidhu. Sidhu claims to have the support of 62 MLAs. The number of Congress MLAs in Punjab is 80. Amarinder Singh on Tuesday dismissed reports that Sidhu had sought time to meet him. Amarinder also said that 'the CM will not meet Sidhu unless he publicly apologizes for the derogatory remarks made against him on social media.'
On the other hand, Congress MLA Pargat Singh has said that why should Sidhu apologize to CM Amarinder? This is not a public issue. CM has not resolved many issues. In such a situation, he should also apologize to the people.
