Navjot Singh Sidhu’s resignation from the Punjab cabinet is a clear manifestation of his unbridled ambition and political brinkmanship. Sidhu wasn’t an impulsive batsman but has proved to be the opposite in politics. He should know better that every lofted shot doesn’t clear the fielder on the boundary in politics.
Congress opposition to empowering NIA doesn’t make sense
The Congress party’s opposition to the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to empower the counter-terrorism body, is unfortunate. It’s ironical because it was the Congress-led UPA government that created NIA after 26/11. Parties must set aside their political differences and forge unity when it comes to fighting terror.

excellant sir.
While campaigning for the last Assembly election, Captain Amarinder Singh had said this would be his last contest. He has been in public life for fifty years, will complete his term on a high. The fact that his name was suggested for party President is itself an honour. One does not know if Shri Sidhu is CM material, who and how good the other contenders will be in a post AS era. However, it is in everyone’s interest to keep the boat steady. There is already a radar lock on other Congress state governments.
