In 1989, Sethi along with his wife Jugnu Mohsin launched an independent English weekly, The Friday Times.

On 26 March 2013, his name was approved for the interim position of the chief minister of Punjab as a result of consensus between members of the selection committee comprising individuals from both the governing and the opposing political parties. He took the oath on 27 March 2013, and left the office after the May 2013 elections on 6 June 2013. (en)
