Congress’s Punjab unit president Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday called Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan his ‘bada bhai’ (elder brother) during his visit to the Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara across the border, sparking a fresh controversy with his remark that BJP, AAP condemned. And even within the opposition party. Sidhu visited the revered Gurdwara Darbar Sahib and offered prayers and stressed on “opening a new friendship chapter” and trade between the two countries. India The visa-free Kartarpur Corridor has been reopened for Sikh pilgrims earlier this week.
But Imran Khan’s description of Sidhu spread wings in India, even as his senior party colleague Manish Tewari took a dig at the Punjab Congress chief, saying the premier is a “cat’s paw” of Pakistan’s deep state that is Punjab. “Drones” weapons and narcotics in And sends terrorists to Jammu and Kashmir. When Mohammad Latif, CEO of the Kartarpur Corridor Project Management Unit, welcomed the former Test cricketer to the zero point and wished him and his delegation on behalf of the Prime Minister, Sidhu praised his former cricketing rival.
In a purported video that went viral, Sidhu says, “Imran Khan is my elder brother. I feel very honored. He (Khan) showered us with a lot of love.” Sidhu later dismissed the BJP’s criticism.
When Sidhu was asked for his reaction on the BJP’s attack, he told reporters at the border post in Gurdaspur, “Whatever the BJP has to say…” Sidhu told reporters. Sharing this video, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya tweeted, ‘Rahul Gandhi’s favorite Navjot Singh Sidhu calls Pakistan PM Imran Khan his elder brother. The last time he hugged Pakistan Army Chief General Bajwa, there was a lot of praise. Gandhi siblings chose Pakistan-loving Sidhu over veteran Amarinder Singh? Replying to a question from the media on Sidhu’s statements, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said that the country should be paramount for the people’s representatives.
“Hope that the country should be paramount for all the people’s representatives, whether they speak in the House or outside,” he told reporters in Jaipur. The BJP hit out at the Congress, saying the opposition party sees terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram in Hindutva while it finds “brotherhood” in Imran Khan.
This is a matter of serious concern for Indians BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra Said that the ruling party has captured the issue to target the Congress. He claimed there was a larger design at work, and that Sidhu’s comments were linked to several Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, criticizing Hindutva.
Referring to Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s statement in his latest book, Patra said the opposition party sees terror groups like ISIS and Boko Haram in Hindutva while it sees ‘Bhai Jaan’ in Khan. This is being done for the politics of appeasement as the Congress still believes that there is a section in India which would be happy with the praise of Pakistan, he claimed, although there are no such people in India.
Patra said Sidhu had praised Imran Khan and Pakistan in the past and had hugged his army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa during his previous visit to the neighboring country. Noting that Punjab is a border state where Pakistan tries to create trouble, Patra said it needs a mature and patriotic leadership.
He said that Sidhu is not right for India and Punjab deserves better than him. Reacting to Sidhu’s gesture, Tiwari tweeted, “@ImranKhan.
