Front formed by Navjot Singh Sidhu, Pargat Singh and Bains brothers to be called "Aawaaz-e-Punjab".
In a setback for AAP ahead of next year's assembly polls in Punjab, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu is all set to float a new political front, along with hockey player-turned-MLA Pargat Singh.
"Along with Pargat Singh and Bains brothers we have formed a front, this will be against those working against Punjab," said Navjot Kaur Sidhu.
A week after quitting Rajya Sabha, Navjot Singh Sidhu had broken his silence and targeted the BJP for asking him to stay away from Punjab to serve 'personal interests' but continued to keep everyone guessing on his next move, including whether he will join AAP.
A fortnight ago, Arvind Kejriwal sought to scotch 'rumours' on Navjot Singh Sidhu's possible induction in Aam Aadmi Party, saying the cricketer- turned-politician had not put any pre-condition and just needed 'time to think'.
Kejriwal had said his respect for Sidhu will continue irrespective of whether 'he joins (AAP) or not'.
