Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu walked out of jail on Saturday after spending 10 months in a jail in a road rage case.
In May last year, following a one-year jail sentence handed down by the Supreme Court, the Congress leader surrendered to a Patiala court. The incident in question occurred on December 27, 1988 when Sidhu struck Gurnam Singh during a dispute, ultimately resulting in Gurnam Singh’s death.
Sidhu alleged that he was supposed to be out much earlier, but the jail authorities delayed the procedure as they wanted mediapersons to leave.
A huge crowd of Sidhu’s supporters and Congress leaders had gathered outside the jail to welcome him.
Sidhu also said that Congress’s Rahul Gandhi will put an end to what he described as dictatorship in the country.
“Whenever a dictatorship came to this country, a revolution has also come and this time, the name of that revolution is Rahul Gandhi. He will rattle the government,” Singh said.
