Manish Tewari, Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib onSaturday questioned party’s high command silence on Sidhu’s ‘eent se eent bajadenge’ remarks.
Tewari tweeted Navjot Sidhu's clip where he appears to bewarning the party, and said if they utter a word they are being named, however,no action against those using such threatening language.
He used an Urdu couplet to describe the situation,"hum aah bhi bharte hai tau, ho jaate ha badnaam, wo qatal bhi karte haintau charcha nahi hote”, which reads ‘Even if we sigh, we become infamous, evenif they kill, there is no discussion’.
Sources close to Tewari said that last year in Augustwhen the group of leaders wrote a letter for the betterment of the party, theywere called traitors, but now no action was being taken against Sidhu.
Last year on August 23, leaders including Tewari wrote aletter to Sonia Gandhi for a 'visible and effective leadership and electionsfor the block to CWC level which were still pending.
