Chandigarh, December 10: Due to ill health, Capt Amarinder Singh will skip the Navjivan function at Mohali near here on Monday. A spokesman of the Chief Minister’s office said he was advised rest for 48 hours.

Amarinder underwent routine tests at the PGI on Sunday as a follow-up on the viral illness he had suffered last week.

Doctors said all tests were found okay and the Chief Minister was suffering from slight weakness as a result of the earlier bout of viral fever.
Meanwhile, Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday had said that he would not attend the cabinet meeting on Monday as he had been advised by the doctor not to speak till his next visit to Apollo Hospital in New Delhi on December 11.

Showing his recently penned poem on relations with Pakistan while basking in the winter sun at his official residence here, Sidhu said, “My vocal cords are damaged and need rest and treatment to recuperate.”

Meanwhile, Congress president Rahul Gandhi arrived at Mohali for the launch event of the special edition of Navjivan.
