Dehradun: Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat Wednesday gave a clean chit to state Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu saying he is not behind the latest crisis within the party in Punjab. He further added that Sidhu has come from a different environment and has been a witness to several changes in the party. He has been entrusted with the responsibility of Punjab, but it doesn't mean that the entire Congress has been handed over to him.

Amid the political turmoil in the state Congress, leaders from the Navjot Singh Sidhu camp on Wednesday met Punjab AICC in-charge Harish Rawat in Dehradun. Rawat having met the disgruntled leaders assured them that he would resolve the ongoing tussle of Punjab Congress.

Some Congress leaders are angry with the Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh and demanding a change of leadership in the state. Speaking to the media Rawat said, "We will fight the coming elections under the leadership of Captain Amarinder Singh. There is not going to be any change. Navjot Singh Sidhu's entry is totally a different issue and it may take some time for him to understand. Be it, Sidhu or Harish Rawat, Amarinder Singh or Bajwa, all these people are old soldiers of the Congress. Therefore, there is no crisis of any kind in the Punjab government. I will talk to the MLAs and ministers and make the high command aware of the whole issue."

In case there is no resolution today, the party high command will step in.
