Chandigarh:  Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu once again offensive mode against the state government. Sidhu has threatened to go on hunger strike  against the Charanjit Singh Channi government. 

Addressing Congress workers meeting in Bagha Purana, Moga, Sidhu said he would go on a hunger strike against the state government if it doesn't make public the reports on drugs menace and the sacrilege incident.

Former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who quit Congress to form his own party in 2021, was under pressure over how he has handled alleged incidents of desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib as well as the police firing on those protesting the same in October 2015 when the SAD-BJP alliance was in power.
