<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Punjab&#8217;s Deputy Chief Minister, announced last week that Alam&#8217;s alleged ISI ties would be investigated. Captain Amarinder retaliated, saying Alam had been &#8220;coming for 16 years with necessary GoI permissions&#8221; in tweets issued on his behalf by his media adviser Raveen Thukral.</p>

Harish Rawat, a senior Congress politician, and Punjab in-charge launched the first salvo. Rawat questioned Amarinder&#8217;s secular credentials, citing his proximity to Amit Shah, prompting a sharp reaction from the former Punjab chief minister, who stated even his opponents don&#8217;t doubt his sincerity in this area.</p>
<p>Denying Amarinder&#8217;s charge of being humiliated by the Congress, Rawat said &#8220;It appears from Captain&#8217;s recent statements that he is under some sort of pressure. He should rethink, and not help BJP directly or indirectly.&#8221;</p>

<p>Captain Amarinder advised Sidhu&#8217;s advisers to keep giving counsel to the PPCC president and not talk on subjects about which they plainly had little or no knowledge and had no comprehension of the repercussions of their comments, according to a news release released by the Chief Minister&#8217;s Office.</p>
<p>This was in response to Sidhu&#8217;s adviser Pyare Lal Garg&#8217;s recent questioning of the chief minister&#8217;s condemnation of Pakistan and another Sidhu aide, Malwinder Singh Mali&#8217;s earlier comments on Kashmir. Both have lately been recruited as advisers by Sidhu.</p>
