Congress leaders, supporters celebrate release of Navjot Sidhu

Several Congress leaders and supporters outside the prison gave a grand welcome to former cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Sidhu. The group chanted Navjot Sidhu zindabad to celebrate his release from Patiala jail after serving 10 months for a road rage case from 1988, according to the news agency PTI.

Punjab is the shield of this country. When a revolution came in this country, a revolution was led by Rahul Gandhi, Sidhu said in an apparent swipe at the ruling BJP after walking out of jail.

As permitted by the rules, Sidhu's lawyer HPS Varma previously indicated that his early release was due to good conduct during his imprisonment. The family of 59 years had received a notification of his release from authorities prior to the event.

Sidhu's supporters had arranged for dhol's players to welcome him outside the prison. Many posters and hoardings featuring Sidhu had been put up in Patiala city to commemorate his release. One supporter stated that they were quite ecstatic over Sidhu's release.

Sidhu's son, Karan Sidhu, expressed the family's eagerness for his return, as he spoke to reporters at his residence earlier in the day. He acknowledged that it had been a difficult time for the family, but they were relieved to see him come out of jail.

The release of the former state Congress chief has sparked much debate and has sparked widespread attention. However, his supporters remain hopeful that he will continue to serve his community and make a positive impact in the political sphere.
