Chandigarh, September 28: Punjab Minister Razia Sultana resigned from the Cabinet on Tuesday, just hours after Navjot Singh Sidhu stepped down as Punjab Congress chief.
Razia Sultana said in her resignation letter that she was quitting “in solidarity with Navjot Singh Sidhu”.
Her resignation came hours after she was given water supply and sanitation, social security, women and child development, printing, and stationery departments in the new Punjab Cabinet under Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
Incidentally, Sultana’s husband Mohammed Mustafa became Sidhu’s chief strategic adviser when the latter took over as Punjab Congress chief in July.
