Navjot Kaur Sidhu has firmly rejected a legal notice issued by Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, calling it 'devoid of merit and legally unsustainable.' Through her counsel, Sidhu countered Randhawa's demand for an apology or legal action, threatening a countersuit for harassment and false claims.
Randhawa issued the notice following Sidhu's media statements accusing him of corruption. Sidhu, recently suspended from the Punjab Congress for her controversial remarks, defended her statements as free speech, citing legal protections under India's Constitution.
The ongoing conflict highlights deep divisions within the Congress party and raises questions about freedom of speech and the legal recourse available to public figures amidst political battles.
