"At home, if such a thing happens with a child, elder or a friend, efforts are made (to persuade) and the party will do so. If there is any misunderstanding and displeasure, there are many ways to pacify (him) and it should be done. I will say that Navjot Singh Sidhu should come back to his own home (party)," said the state Health and Family Welfare Minister.
"Efforts should be made to remove his disaffection and he should be persuaded (to take back his decision). He has been with the party for so many years," he said.
Dealing a blow to the BJP ahead of the Assembly elections in Punjab, Sidhu, the Amritsar MP from 2004 to 2014, resigned yesterday from Rajya Sabha three months after his nomination by the Narendra Modi government, fuelling speculations that he, along with his wife Navjot Kaur, a BJP MLA, could join the AAP.
Kaur today told reporters there was no choice before her husband but join the AAP to serve the people of Punjab.
