Amarinder, whose presence in Sidhu’s coronation ceremony was earlier unconfirmed, will attend the programme to be held on Friday, reported PTI.
Navjot Sidhu and Amarinder Singh have been at loggerheads for quite some time, with the Amritsar (East) MLA recently attacking the CM over the desecration cases.
The chief minister had also opposed his appointment as the state Congress chief and had said he won’t meet Sidhu until the cricketer-turned-politician apologises for his “derogatory” tweets against him.
Sidhu will formally assume the charge of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, along with four working presidents, at Punjab Congress Bhawan on Friday.
