He’s known to be religious, and quite superstitious, but this was a whole new level. At the Chandigarh Press Club on Friday, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu carried a small, glittering box wrapped in a bunch of papers.
What was inside surprised many when the cricketer-turned-politician, a known devotee of Lord Shiva, opened the box and placed it on his right side on the table in front of him as he began the interaction.
