Navjot Singh Sidhu’s adviser Malwinder Singh Mali resignsÂ
Malwinder Singh Mali, the advisor of Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu, has resigned from the post. His resignation came amid a row over his remarks on Kashmir. Sidhu’s advisors Mali and Pyare Lal Garg earlier this month stoked a controversy with their comments on Pakistan and Kashmir.
Mali, a former government teacher, had said that Kashmir is a ‘separate country’. Garg, who is the former registrar of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, had questioned Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s criticism of Pakistan. He had said any criticism of Pakistan by Singh was not in the interest of Punjab.
CM Amarinder and other Congress leaders then took strong exception to the comments made by the two. The Chief Minister slammed the statements as “totally misplaced” and urged them to stick to only giving advice to the Punjab Congress president.
