Navjot Singh Sidhu will be released on Saturday

Indian Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu will be released from Patiala Jail on Saturday, a tweet from his official account said. The 59-year-old was serving one year in a road-rage incident in which a man was killed 34 years ago.

Following the latest development, the Congress leader’s wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who is battling cancer, shared an emotional tweet, saying that she “asked for death” from God to “teach Sidhu a lesson”. In her post, she stated that her husband’s love for Punjab had driven him beyond the realm of any attachment.

“Affirmations are true: made by a sound mind or out of your senses. Navjot’s love for Punjab had driven him beyond the realm of any attachment. In a fit of anger,to teach him a lesson I asked for death. God’s grace was waiting but with a rider,” Navjot Kaur said.

“I will give you what you have asked for but not against the will of Supreme Consciousness. So HE left me in between. Each person’s destiny and journey is different. We have no right to question it. The only person who needs correction is our own self. HIS WORLD: HIS LAWS,” she added.
