New Delhi: Putting an end to the crisis in the Congress party in Punjab, Navjot Singh Sidhu has withdrawn his resignation after meeting former party chief Rahul Gandhi here on Friday. Sidhu will also continue as president of Punjab Congress Committee (PCC), said Harish Rawat, AICC in-charge of the state.

"I shared all my concerns with Rahul Gandhi, they have been sorted out," said Sidhu after his meeting with Gandhi.

Earlier, Sidhu has said that "he has full faith in the leadership of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and any decision taken by her will be acceptable."

The meeting with Rahul comes a day after an hour-long meeting with Harish Rawat and AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal at the AICC headquarters.

Sidhu had resigned as Punjab Congress chief on September 28 after he posted his resignation letter on Twitter.

During the meeting with Venugopal and Rawat, the Punjab Congress leader raised his concerns over the 18-point agenda taken by the leadership on which actions are pending.

These include action against those involved in the sacrilege issue and the drugs mafia. Sidhu had recently raised objections over the appointment of the new Punjab Police chief and the advocate general.
