After release from jail, Navjot Sidhu calls on ‘mentor’ Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka; and all the latest news

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who walked out of jail earlier this month, met former party chief Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday in New Delhi. Calling Rahul Gandhi his mentor and Priyanka his “friend, philosopher and guide”, Sidhu said his commitment to Punjab and his leaders “will neither flinch nor back an inch.”

The cricketer-turned-politician met Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for the first time since he walked out of the Patiala Central Jail on Saturday after serving nearly 10 months in a 1988 road rage case.

Sharing a photograph of the trio, Sidhu wrote on Twitter, “Met my Mentor Rahul ji and Friend, Philosopher, Guide Priyanka ji in New Delhi Today."

“You can Jail me , Intimidate me, Block all my financial accounts but My commitment for Punjab and My Leaders will neither flinch nor back an inch !! (sic)” he added.
