Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu has said that Democracy is in chains, in an apparent swipe at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After getting out of the jail in Patiala on Saturday, he told waiting reporters that a conspiracy is being hatched to bring President'e Rule in Punjab. Minorities are being targetted. If you try to weaken Punjab, you will become weak. Sidhu walked out of Patiala jail after 10 months of rigorous imprisonment in the 1988 road rage case. "I want to ask Chief Minister and AAP leader Bhagwant Mann. Why did you fool the people of Punjab? You made tall promises, cracked jokes. But you are just Chief Minister on paper today," he said.
Several Congress leaders and supporters were gathered outside the Patiala Jail to accord the former cricketer a grand welcome upon his release. They were seen with dhols and also chanted 'Navjot Sidhu zindabad'. The former state Congress chief was jailed on May 20 last year after being sentenced to one-year rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Court over the death of 65-year-old Gurnam Singh in a road rage case in 1988..
