It would be better if Rahul and Sonia go on permanent leave: Sukhbir Badal

Punjab deputy chief minister (CM) Sukhbir Singh Badal said here on Saturday that it will be better if Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi go on permanent leave.

"Two years is less, they should go on a permanent break," said Badal while reacting to an earlier statement made by former Congress Working Committee's (CWC) member Jagmeet Brar.

Brar is facing criticism from the party over his comment, with Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary demanding that strict action be taken against him.
