New Delhi/IBNS: Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, released from jail after 10 months, met Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Delhi on Thursday.

In a tweet, Sidhu reiterated his commitment to work for the people of Punjab.

"Met my Mentor Rahul ji and Friend, Philosopher, Guide Priyanka ji in New Delhi Today. You can Jail me , Intimidate me, Block all my financial accounts but My commitment for Punjab and My Leaders will neither flinch nor back an inch !! My Leaders will neither flinch nor back an inch," read his post on Twitter.
