Jalandhar: Five months after joining the Aam Aadmi Party, former hockey Olympian and retired IG of the Punjab Police Surinder Singh Sodhi is set to join the Congress on Monday. He will be joining in the presence of PPCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh. Sodhi confirmed that he was joining the Congress tomorrow at Chandigarh but refused to cite reasons for making the shift. A Jalandhar resident, he was expecting an AAP ticket either from Nawanshahr or Jalandhar Cantonment. Sodhi had joined the AAP in June this year after taking premature retirement. He was a part of the Indian hockey contingent that won gold in the 1980 Olympics. Besides, the Arjuna awardee player had also got a silver medal at the Asian Games and a bronze at the Champions Trophy.
