										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After state Home Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa threatened to investigate Aroosa Alam for ties to Pakistan&#8217;s spy organization ISI, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh put up a vigorous defense of his friend, Pakistani defense writer Aroosa Alam.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;I suppose they are all also contacts of the ISI,&#8221; he wrote on Facebook after posting more than ten photos of the journalist with Indian leaders including Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, late Union minister Sushma Swaraj, and Union minister Ashwani Kumar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Congress&#8217;s harshest attack yet on Mr. Singh was the Punjab home minister&#8217;s threat to have Aroosa Alam examined. The 79-year-old Congressman had turned against the party after it backed Navjot Singh Sidhu in a heated year-long fight that concluded with his resignation from the top office.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who is on the verge of allying with the BJP and breakaway Akali groups, slammed the Congress, his party of more than 40 years, today. He claimed that the Congress is not a secular party, citing its alliance with the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and the induction of multiple leaders from the BJP and its mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, including current state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The majority of his rage was directed at Harish Rawat, the Congress in-charge of Punjab, who called Mr. Singh&#8217;s announcement on Tuesday shocking and claimed that he had &#8220;killed the secular Amarinder within him.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Captain Amarinder Singh, the ousted Punjab chief minister, and the Congress got into a verbal spat on Friday. 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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the midst of the ongoing crisis in the Punjab Congress, at least 32 MLAs, including four cabinet ministers, revolted against the chief minister and met in Chandigarh today to decide that a five-member delegation would try to meet with the Congress high command today to demand the resignation of Capt Amarinder Singh. They have yet to announce who would be the next chief minister.</p>
<p>All of these cabinet ministers and MLAs from Punjab Congress resident Navjot Singh Sidhu&#8217;s camp are skeptical that the party will be able to deliver on all of the promises made before the 2017 state assembly elections under Capt Amarinder&#8217;s leadership.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Thursday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh agreed to visit the installation event of new Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu, thereby ending concerns that he might skip the event.</p>
<p>On Friday, the ceremony will be held. Kuljit Singh Nagra and Sangat Singh Gilzian, two of the four working politicians of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC), met with Amarinder on Thursday afternoon to stretch two requests – one approved by more than 50 MLAs, and a personal letter from Sidhu to the chief minister encouraging him to the event.</p>
<p>After meeting with the chief minister, Nagra stated that he has consented to attend the event, which would be held at the Congress Bhawan in Chandigarh at 11 a.m. on Friday.</p>
