Sukhdarshan Singh, who had been with the Congress for more than 30 years, is a close relative of HS Bhullar, officer on special duty to Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh.

Talking to reporters, Sukhdarshan said that there was nothing like democracy in the Congress now, which was being ruled by certain people pursuing their own vested interests.
