What happened: The congress chief of India’s Punjab, Navjot Singh Sidhu, after arriving in the Kartarpur project in Pakistan, said, “ Imran Khan is my bada bhai (elder brother). ” Navjot Singh Sidhu arrived in Pakistan on Saturday. He came to take part in the annual commemoration of the birth of Guru Nanak. Sidhu also visited the Gurudwara Darbar Sahib before visiting the Kartarpur project.
The reaction: However, Navjot Singh Sidhu’s remarks did not sit quite well with the Indians. As BJP’s Amir Malviya criticized Sidhu and said, “ Pakistan loving Sidhu over veteran Amarinder Singh. ” He was also quoted by a publication saying, “ Is it any surprise that the Gandhi siblings chose a Pakistan loving Sidhu over veteran Amarinder Singh? ” It is pertinent to know that Navjot Singh Sidhu was also criticized for hugging the COAS General Bajwa. This incident happened in 2018 when Sidhu visited Pakistan.
