Navjot Singh Sidhu, the newly appointed Punjab Congress chief, was welcomed with black flags by farmers protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws upon his arrival in Ludhiana on Tuesday.

According to news agency ANI, hundreds of farmers shouted slogans and showed black flags to Sidhu after he reached Bhagat Singh Marg in Ludhiana.

Overruling the objections raised by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Sidhu was on Sunday appointed the president of the Punjab unit of Congress.

A day later, he visited Gurudwara Shri Dukhniwaran Sahib in Patiala and offered prayers. After offering prayers at the Gurudwara with his supporters and few party members, he later reached his residence in Patiala.

The Congress party is pinning its hopes on Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh and Sidhu together for winning the 2022 assembly elections.
