Congress leader Sunil Jakhar has hit out at Navjot Singh Sidhu over his resignation as Punjab unit chief and said “what stands compromised was the faith reposed in him by the Congress leadership”.
Sidhu, a cricketer-turned-politician, caused a surprise with his resignation as Punjab Congress chief on Tuesday.
“It’s just not cricket! What stands compromised in this entire ‘episode’ is the faith reposed in the (outgoing?) PCC President by the Congress Leadership. No amount of grandstanding can justify this breach of trust placing his benefactors in a peculiar predicament,” Jakhar said in a tweet.

Sidhu was appointed as Punjab Congress chief in July this year.
