Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Punjab Congress chief; he’ll join some other party, predicts Amarinder
Soon after the announcement of the National Cabinet, Nafjot Singh Sidhu unexpectedly announced his resignation as chairman of the Punjab State Congress. In a letter he shared with Congress Chairman Sonia Gandhi on Twitter, he wrote that he must not compromise on Punjab’s future and national welfare agenda. Sidhu took over as chairman of the party in a dispute with Amarinder Singh’s leadership in July, who stepped down as chief minister 10 days ago while accusing the party’s top commander of humiliating him. The politician, who is a cricketer, did not elaborate on the reasons for his withdrawal. In his letter to Sonia Gandhi, he said: “The breakdown of a person’s character stems from a corner of compromise. I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and Punjab’s welfare agenda.” “Therefore, I resign from my post as Chairman of the Punjab State Congress Committee. I will continue to serve the Congress,” he wrote. It is not clear what prompted Siddu to leave the post of chairman of the Punjab state parliament. Sidu’s resignation also sparked speculation about the politician’s next move. He worked for the People’s Party before joining Congress. On Sunday, troubles started brewing. Just a few hours before the new minister was sworn in, some provincial councillors wrote to Sidhu saying that the “contaminated” Rana Gurjeet Singh should not be appointed. As a minister because he faces accusations of corruption in the sand mining industry. In fact, Gurjeet Singh was removed from the cabinet by then Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on corruption charges. The resignation a few months before the Punjab election shocked the congressional leadership. Congressman MLA Bawa Henry told ANI Sidhu on Tuesday night that Sidhu’s resignation has not been accepted and the matter will be resolved soon. He responded quickly to ensure that he would not become the chief minister. In an interview with the “India Express”, Amarind said that Sidul resigned within two months of taking over as chairman of the CPPCC, demonstrating his “cunning” character once again. “I have known this boy since I was a kid. He has always been a lonely person and will never be a team player,” Amarind recalled the experience of Sidhu who suddenly left the Indian team in England in 1996. “This is his true character,” he added. Amarinder laughed at Sidhu for claiming that he was withdrawing on a matter of principle. He told India Express, “What principle is he talking about? He is just providing reasons for withdrawing from Congress. You will wait and see that he will soon join forces with other parties.” In a tweet earlier on Tuesday, Amarinde wrote: “I told you… he is not a stable person and is not suitable for the border of Punjab.”

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange
FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.
Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government
Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”
Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”
Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.
“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.
On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”
Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
