Chandigarh, Nov 5 (TIWN) Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday said he has taken back his resignation from the post.

At a press conference here, he said he would resume work in office the day a new Advocate General is appointed and the panel on the new DGP is received.   His announcement comes days after Advocate General A.P.S. Deol resigned from his position and the Punjab government has sent a list of 10 names to the Union Public Service Commission for appointment of the Director General of Police.   Sidhu said: "Posts do not matter when you are on the path of truth".   Appointed the state chief on July 19, Sidhu resigned minutes after allocation of portfolios to ministers in the new government headed by Charanjit Channi who succeeded Amarinder Singh as the Chief Minister.   In his resignation letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, Sidhu wrote: "The collapse of man's character stems from the compromise corner. I can never compromise on Punjab's future and the agenda for welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as president of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. Will continue to serve the Congress."
