A few hours after Navjot Singh Sidhu’s resignation as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Chief, Cabinet Minister Razia Sultana has also resigned from her post from the Cabinet Ministry on September 28.
In the resignation letter, Razia Sultana wrote that she was resigning in “solidarity” with Navjot Singh Sidhu and millions of Congress workers across the state. She also wrote that she would continue to work for the Congress party.
