New Delhi, Nov 28 (CRICKETNMORE): Cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu and former hockey Olympian Pargat Singh on Monday joined the Congress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hinting at Sidhu's entry to the Congress, Navjot Kaur said: "We are one soul in two bodies. The body can't live without the soul. The body has to follow the soul. We are soulmates. When he comes, you'll get to know."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She said she had joined the party "unconditionally" and will fulfil whatever responsibility the party assigns her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Punjab Congress President Captain Amarinder Singh said: "If Mrs Sidhu is here, do you think Mr Sidhu is not going to be with us ?"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I have not met him so far. I have not spoken to him. He is still in Mumbai; he'll come in one or two days. When he comes to Delhi, we will discuss and then will let you know," Singh told the media here. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
There is speculation that Navjot Singh Sidhu, after joining the Congress, will contest by-poll for the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat, which was vacated by Amarinder Singh on November 11 in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict on a Presidential reference on the Sutlej-Yamuna Link canal issue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked if the former cricketer will contest the Amritsar by-election, Amarinder Singh replied: "I do not know; as I said, I have not met Mr. Sidhu. Unless I talk to him, how can I say what role he would like to play? ... whether he wants to contest the Lok Sbaha elections or play some other role?"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Amarinder Singh, a former Punjab Chief Minister, resigned from the Lok Sabha to protest against what he said was "injustice" to his state after the Supreme Court held as "unconstitutional" a 2004 law passed by the Punjab assembly to deny Haryana and other states a share in the Sutlej-Yamuna waters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pargat and Navjot Kaur met the Congress high command here last week regarding their entry to the party ahead of the Punjab assembly elections early next year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Navjot Kaur Sidhu resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party on October 8. She represented Amritsar East constituency in the Punjab assembly. She is also a former Chief Parliamentary Secretary of the Punjab government.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pargat Singh was earlier associated with the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab. He represents Jalandhar Cantt constituency in the state assembly. <\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2016\/11\/navjot-kaur-sidhu.jpg", "alt_img": "Navjot Kaur Sidhu Image", "alt_title": "Navjot Kaur Sidhu", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Navjot Kaur Sidhu joins Congress, hints at his entry too", "seo_desc": "Navjot Kaur Sidhu joins Congress, hints at his entry tooNew Delhi, Nov 28 (CRICKETNMORE): Cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur ", "seo_keywords": "Navjot Kaur Sidhu, Navjot Singh Sidhu", "tag": "", "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "0", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "sidhu-s-wife-joins-congress-hints-at-his-entry-too", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1759", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "0", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2016-11-28 22:36:00", "updated": "2016-11-28 22:36:00", "img_from": "", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2016-11-28 22:36:00", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2016-11-28 22:36:00", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/sidhu-s-wife-joins-congress-hints-at-his-entry-too-21577" }
