In the video, Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “I am fighting for the welfare of Punjab and I never compromised on this. I never fight for personal agenda.”

“I can’t misguide the high command. I’m ready for any sacrifice,” he said. In a reference to new appointments in the Punjab government, Sidhu further added, “I fought for issues concerning Punjab for a long time… There was a system of tainted leaders, officers, now you cannot repeat the same system again… I will stand by my principles.”

He had also posted a picture of the letter he had written to Party Chief Sonia Gandhi. The letter read, “The collapse of a man’s character stems from the compromise corner, I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee [PPCC]. Will continue to serve the Congress.”
