Former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar on Friday posted a cryptic tweet and requested people to not infer anything from the two line he wrote. "Is it finally truce now, armistice sealed? Or is it only a temporary ceasefire?" Sunil Jakhar posted adding that he was referring to the situation at the Line of Actual Control after the recent Chine intrusion into the territory. "No inference please," he added.
Sunil Jakhar was replaced to make Navjot Singh Sidhu the chief of the Punjab Congress though the elevation did not solve the crisis and Captain Amarinder Singh resigned from the post of teh chief minister. Though Sunil Jakhar's name was doing the rounds as the next chief minister, he was ruled out for several reasons and one among them was his equation with Sidhu.
But making Charanjit Singh Channi the CM could not save the situation either as Sidhu resigned in protest against Channi's appointment decision. Following a meeting with Channi on Thursday, Sidhu has reportedly agreed to continue in his post as Channi is believed to have yielded to Sidhu's demands. With this, the immediate problem in the Punjab Congress has been addressed, while a bigger dissent in the Congress needs attention.

{{/usCountry}}A day before, Sunil Jakhar slammed Sidhu without naming him and said there has to be an end to the attempts of undermining the authority of the chief minister again and again. " Aspersions being cast on the selection of AG & DGP is actually questioning the integrity/competence of CM and Home Minister to deliver results. It’s time to put the foot down and clear the air," Jakhar said.
When Sidhu announced to resign from the post of the party president in Punjab, Sunil Jakhar said it was not cricket. "What stands compromised in this entire ‘episode’ is the faith reposed in the (outgoing ?) PCC President by the Congress Leadership. No amount of grand standing can justify this breach of trust placing his benefactors in a peculiar predicament," he wrote.
