Punjab Politics: Captain Amarinder Singh resigns from Congress

New Delhi: Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has finally said goodbye to the Congress party.

Captain Amarinder Singh today sent his resignation to the party's national president Sonia Gandhi.

After resigning from the post of Chief Minister, the Captain had already said that he would leave the Congress. The Captain had announced the formation of his own party.

In his letter to Sonia Gandhi, Amarinder Singh said, "Despite my profound reservations and over the unanimous advice of almost all the MPs from Punjab, you chose to appoint an acolyte of the Pakistani deep state Navjyot Singh Sindhu who had publicly hugged the Pakistan Army Chief Gen Bajwa and Prime Minister Imran Khan, as the President of the Punjab Congress Committee."

"I actually felt deeply hurt by your conduct and that of your children who I still deeply love as much as my own children, having known their father, since we were in school together since 1954, which is for 67 years now," he further added in the letter.

"I hereby tender my resignation from the Indian National Congress in the interest of my state and my country," Amarinder Singh stated.
