After a weekend of overstuffing, we sometimes end up regretting what we did… because the rule of gaining and losing is not the same. However, if you have determination and a year-long jail term, things can be different. Senior Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was sent to jail over a road rage case from 1988, has managed to lose 34kg in just six months. But, what’s the mantra?
According to reports, a close aide of Sidhu said the Congress leader’s fitness journey had only three constants — yoga, meditation and a strict diet. The 6 foot 2 inch tall cricketer now weighs 99kg.
Talking to The Indian Express, Sidhu’s aide and former MLA Navtej Singh Cheema said Sidhu meditated for four hours, spent two hours on yoga and doing exercises, two to four hours reading. “He sleeps for only four hours,” added Cheema.
“When Sidhu sahib will come out after completing his sentence, you will be surprised to see him. He looks exactly like he used to look during his heyday as a cricketer. He has shed 34 kilos and he will be shedding more. He now weighs 99 kg. But as he is 6 feet 2 inches tall, he looks handsome at his current weight. He looks calm as he spends so much time meditating,” Cheema, who met Sidhu in Patiala jail for 45 minutes on Friday, told the newspaper.
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu surrendered before a court in Patiala on May 20 and will serve his one-year sentence in the central jail. In Patiala prison, Sidhu will not be earning wages for three months before he is classified as unskilled, semi-skilled or skilled.
The Supreme Court had taken up the case for review in February this year to decide whether Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu should face charges of a more serious nature in the 34-year-old road rage case.
In 1988, Sidhu was an accused in a road rage case in which Gurnam Singh from Patiala had died. In May 2018, the SC let Sidhu off by imposing a fine of Rs 1,000.
This was after the Punjab and Haryana High Court convicted him of voluntarily causing harm and sentenced him to three years in jail. The SC exonerated him, noting that the case was over 30 years old, and that the accused did not use any weapon.
