Amritsar, October 27

A day after the Supreme Court directed Navjot Singh Sidhu to face trial in a case filed by his opponent, OP Soni, during the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, his wife Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu said today that the complaint was baseless.

Dr Sidhu said the process of transferring government officials prior to the elections or during the MP’s tenure was a routine affair.

“The SC verdict won’t impact our talks with the Congress as the case pertained to a petition filed seven years ago and that too is frivolous,” she said.

Soni, Congress MLA from Amritsar Central, welcomed the SC’s decision and said he had started exploring legal options to proceed against Sidhu. — TNS
