Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu was released from the Patiala Central Jail on Saturday, less than two months short of the completion of his one-year sentence in a road rage case.
After coming out of jail, Sidhu launched a fierce attack against the government. “There is no such thing as democracy right now. Conspiracy to bring President’s Rule in Punjab. Minorities being targeted. If you try to weaken Punjab, you will become weak,” Sidhu said, news agency ANI reported.
According to Sidhu’s lawyer, the release happened early due to his good conduct during imprisonment, as permitted by the rules.
Several Congress leaders and supporters assembled outside the prison to accord the 59-year-old former cricketer a grand welcome upon his release and chanted ‘Navjot Sidhu zindabad’.
