CMO statement after PCC chief’s latest tweets on appointments
Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Sunday said that a new Director General of Police (DGP) would be appointed soon in consultation with the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and other ministers.
His comments came hours after Mr. Sidhu had tweeted that DGP Iqbal Preet Singh Sahota and Advocate General (AG) Amar Preet Singh Deol must be replaced as their appointments are like “rubbing salt on the wounds of the victims of the sacrilege issue”.
Mr. Sidhu’s latest tweet comes just days after the Chief Minister reached out to him for a compromise after he sprang a surprise by resigning as the PCC chief to protest against these appointments.
