Navjot Singh Sidhu adamant, wants APS Deol, Iqbal Preet Singh Sahota replaced:Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu today reiterated his demand for rolling back the appointments of Advocate General APS Deol and police chief Iqbal Preet Singh Sahota saying the party would otherwise “suffer a loss of face”.
Hours later, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said the names of 10 IPS officers had already been sent to the Centre for the police chief’s post. Keeping mum on the Advocate General’s appointment, Channi said the Centre would shortlist three names for the DGP’s post. “The name of the police chief will be finalised in consultation with Sidhu, ministers and MLAs once the Centre sends us the three names (for the selection of a regular DGP),” he said.
The CM said Sidhu had already been informed about the procedure. “As far as running the government is concerned, everyone is being taken along. The party affairs are being managed by Sidhu. We have to work in coordination. If any issues remain, they can be resolved at the party forum,” he said. Channi dismissed reports of the party’s image being dented after Sidhu tendered his resignation as the PPCC chief.

“The demand for justice in sacrilege cases and for arrest of main culprits behind the drug trade brought our government in 2017… and due to his failure, people removed the last CM. Now, AG & DGP appointments rub salt on wounds of victims, they must be replaced or we will have no face (sic),” Sidhu said in a tweet. The development comes three days after Sidhu and Channi held a meeting, following which it was decided to set up a coordination panel for prior consultation on all major decisions of the state government.
