Chandigarh: Former minister Navjot Kaur Sidhu continues to make headlines for her outspoken remarks, now receiving a legal notice from former Cabinet Minister Anil Joshi. Sidhu recently accused several senior Congress leaders of irregularities in ticket allocation and financial dealings. Following these claims, multiple party leaders had already sent her legal notices, and her latest statements targeted Joshi, who had joined Congress after leaving the Shiromani Akali Dal.
Anil Joshi issued a legal notice in response to Sidhu’s media comments, in which she alleged that he had spent money to secure a ticket and was frustrated after multiple electoral defeats. Joshi rejected the accusations, calling them baseless and politically motivated, and clarified that he had never met Sidhu, challenging her to provide any proof of the alleged interactions.
Senior Congress leaders, including party president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and Pratap Singh Bajwa, criticized Sidhu’s repeated public statements, calling them unprecedented in the party. This marks Sidhu’s fourth legal notice, with earlier notices sent by Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Randhawa, Tarn Taran Congress candidate Karnbir Burj, and Tarn Taran district Congress president Rajbir Singh Bhullar.
The controversy escalated after Sidhu was suspended from the Congress party on Monday over remarks alleging ₹500 crore mismanagement, with the party citing her repeated attacks on senior leaders as the reason for disciplinary action.
