On Friday, Malvinder Singh Mali quit as the advisor to Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu after he landed in hot water for calling India an "illegal" occupant of the conflict-ridden Kashmir region.The development comes a day after Punjab State Chief Amarinder Singh threatened to dismiss him if Sidhu failed to resign himself.

On 19 August, Raghav Chadha of Congress' rival Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) demanded an explanation from Mali for calling Kashmir an independent country and referring to India as its illegal occupant. Punjab Chief Singh, who is a Congress leader himself, reached out to his party chief in the Punjab state of Sidhu – he called his adviser's comments "potentially dangerous" as well "totally misplaced and antagonistic" to the peace and stability of India.

"They will rule to improve the condition of the country, not like before," Mali wrote.
