Chief Minister and State Congress chief hold a joint press conference
Bowing to pressure from State Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Punjab government led by Charanjit Singh Channi on Tuesday removed A.P.S. Deol as Advocate General. The move was a key pre-condition of Mr. Sidhu for resuming his duties as the Punjab Congress Committee chief, even as he withdrew his resignation last week.
In an attempt to present a united face amid the ongoing crises in the party, Mr. Channi and Mr. Sidhu addressed a joint press conference in the State capital and announced that the resignation of Mr. Deol has been accepted among other Cabinet decisions.
“Advocate General had resigned a few days ago. The Cabinet has accepted his (AG) resignation. We will send the resignation to the Governor and tomorrow we will appoint a new AG,” said Mr. Channi, after presiding over the Cabinet meeting.
