Notably, Kejriwal had joined a protest held by contractual teachers in Punjab on November 27.
While addressing the protesting teachers, Sidhu said, "Dear Kejriwal, you are giving lectures in Punjab but hiding your own problems."
Earlier, Arvind Kejriwal had assured protesting teachers in Punjab that he would deal with their issues on priority when the Aam Aadmi Party forms government in the state.
Kejriwal had also introduced himself as the younger brother of protesting teachers, saying he was the son of a teacher.
There are allegations against Arvind Kejriwal that he was fuelling protests in Punjab but did not appoint regular teachers in Delhi.
Navjot Sidhu's Sunday Delhi visit is being viewed as an attempt to counter Arvind Kejriwal's move to woo unemployed and contractual teachers of Punjab, who were waiting for jobs.
