This was Sidhu’s first meeting with the senior Congress leaders since he walked out of the jail. The issues discussed in the meeting are not revealed yet.
Immediately after stepping out of the jail, he attacked the Centre and also targeted Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann over the law and order issues in the state. He met the family of the late singer Sidhu Moosewala and pointed out the issues in the investigation of his murder. In a press conference and then on Twitter, Navjot demanded justice for Moosewala.
Sidhu spent nearly 10 months in Patiala jail in a 1988 road rage case, in which a man lost his life. He was sentenced to a year but was released on April 1 citing his ‘good behaviour’.
