The controversy over Navjot Singh Sidhu continues in the Punjab Congress.

Punjab Congress in-charge Devendra Yadav, who attended a meeting of Congress workers in Jalandhar on Wednesday, warned without naming Sidhu that no one has the right to break discipline, whether the leader is big or small.

At the same time, Pratap Singh Bajwa said that when the thumb is filled with poison, it should be amputated, before it spreads further and causes major damage.

On the other hand, when asked about AAP's announcement of contesting the Lok Sabha elections alone, Devendra Yadav said that he is holding a meeting with the local leaders of the Congress party, whatever the equation is, the leadership sitting in Delhi will be told about it.
