New Delhi: Former Congress MLA and Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, has been suspended from the party's primary membership, a day after she claimed that securing the chief minister’s post in the state requires a “₹500-crore suitcase.”

"Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu is hereby suspended from the Primary Membership of the party with immediate effect," read an official order of the state unit of the Congress.

Reacting to the party's action on Mrs Sidhu, Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu said, "When my grandfather was Chief Minister, such things didn't happen in the Congress party.
