If Not TV, Should I Run Bus Service Like Sukhbir Or Take To Graft: Navjot Sidhu

Darpan News Desk IANS, 22 Mar, 2017 11:50 AM
    Punjab Cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday said that nobody should have any issue if he was working elsewhere as long as it was not improper and didn't involve illegal means.
     
    Speaking to a TV channel, he said: “Should I run bus service like Sukhbir? Or indulge in corruption.”
     
    He said that if he was working four days in a month from 7pm to 6 am, without affecting his responsibility as a minister, why anybody should be bothered?
     
    “If I work four days a month 7pm to 6am why are people getting stomachache?" said Sidhu, who has been working on a popular comedy show on TV.
     
     
    Meanwhile, Aam Admi Party Sangrur MP and former comedian Bhagwant Mann said that Navjot Sidhu must quit the comedy show as he did, after becoming the MP.         
                  
    Mann said: “Even after having many other sources of income, Sidhu is unwilling to quit the show, while I quit it soon after becoming the MP and had no other proper source of income.”
     
     “Navjot Sidhu is not a government employee to work from 9 am to 5 pm. He is a minister and must work round the clock for the welfare of people,” added Mann.
