On Monday, Congress sources had confirmed that Ghubaya’s wife and son would be joining the party on Tuesday in the presence of state party chief Captain Amarinder Singh in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Sukhbir’s seat Jalalabad is now being looked after by his officer on special duty Satinderjit Singh Manta and Ghubaya has been conspicuous with his absence from “sangat darshans” as well as other visits of Sukhbir since the past many months.
