“They (Gandhis) should explain whether Sidhu’s utterances are of his own accord or whether he speaks for the Gandhi family,” he said, adding that his party would stand as a bulwark against any such nefarious conspiracies to spoil the peace in Punjab. Sukhbir also urged the Gandhi family to explain Sidhu’s actions. Sidhu should desist from such activities which can only harm Punjab and become a threat to the peace and communal harmony in the state,” Sukhbir said. He said Sidhu again has gone out of the way to praise Imran Khan whose government is actively engaged in stirring up unrest in Punjab. Earlier also, during his maiden visit to Pakistan, he embraced General Qamar Javed Bajwa despite knowing that the latter was engaged in a proxy war with India in Kashmir which has led to the martyrdom of hundreds of soldiers,” said Sukhbir.
“This is not the first time that Sidhu has cosied up to the ISI.

The Congress leader, however, also came under criticism of his own party for his remark. “Let BJP say whatever they want.,” he told reporters at the border point in Gurdaspur. Sidhu dismissed the criticism by the BJP. Sidhu had attended the event as a special guest of Khan. In 2018, Sidhu was criticised for hugging Pakistan army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa during Imran Khan’s oath ceremony when the latter became prime minister. Is it any surprise that the Gandhi siblings chose a Pakistan loving Sidhu over veteran Amarinder Singh?” Patra said.
Last time, he hugged Gen Bajwa, Pakistan Army’s Chief, heaped praises. “Rahul Gandhi’s favourite Navjot Singh Sidhu calls Pakistan PM Imran Khan his “bada bhai”.
