Harbhajan rubbishes reports of his joining Congress

Amid speculation that Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh will join the Congress in Punjab, he rubbished all such reports, saying he had no intention to join politics in near future.

“I have no intentions of joining politics any time soon. Please stop spreading rumours,” Singh said in a tweet.

Punjab will elect its new legislative assembly early in 2017.

It is also believed that cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, who quit the Bharatiya Janata Party, will join the Congress soon.
