Hours after Captain Amarinder Singh resigned as the Chief Minister of Punjab he stated that he will oppose any move that entails making Navjot Singh Sidhu the next chief ministerial face of Punjab.

He also said that Sidhu will be a disaster since he has a connection with the Pakistan establishment.

In an interview with India Today, Captain Amarinder Singh said, "I will never allow that man [Sidhu] to come to power. He is an anti-national element. He is too mixed up with Pakistan," Captain Amarinder Singh said.
