Navjot Sidhu To Stay, 'Agreement' With Chief Minister On Sticking Points

Navjot Singh Sidhu is back on board after an agreement was reached with Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi on Thursday over contentious appointments that had plunged the Congress into fresh turmoil ahead of polls next year.

Navjot Sidhu, whose "emotional outburst" in the form of the shock resignation took the party by surprise on Tuesday, will be kept in loop while picking a replacement for the state's advocate general Amar Preet Singh Deol, sources said.

APS Deol was appointed on Monday after Atul Nanda resigned from the post following the unceremonious exit of Amarinder Singh as the Punjab Chief Minister.
