Trouble is escalating for Navjot Singh Sidhu, as the Punjab Government has removed the home security of the Congress leader from the Patiala Kothi. This development comes amid reports that the government plans to revoke Sidhu’s security cover at his residence in Chandigarh.
Sidhu has been facing pressure from the Punjab Government ever since he started to publicly oppose the policies of Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. This has led to a breakdown in relations between the two leaders, and now the government has taken a step to restrict Sidhu’s movements by removing his home security. The Patiala Kothi is a government-owned property, and the decision to revoke Sidhu’s security cover there indicates that the government is serious about limiting his activities. It is unclear what the government’s next steps will be, but it is clear that Sidhu is in a difficult situation. With the Punjab Government taking action against him, Sidhu’s future in the state politics is uncertain. It remains to be seen if Sidhu will be able to survive this crisis, or if his political career will be brought to an end.
