Sidhu's praise for Imran insult to India: BJP


New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): The BJP on Friday slammed Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu for praising Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on the issue of opening of the Kartarpur corridor to enable devotees pay obeisance at a gurdwara associated with the first Sikh Guru Nanak Dev. The praise was an "insult to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi".

"This has become a habit with the Congress to insult our Prime Minister and praise that of the neighbouring country. The entire country is watching this. (Congress President) Rahul Gandhi should clarify the issue," BJP Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told a press conference here.

Hussain said that Sidhu's remarks came at a time when Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Jawed Bajwa has vowed to avenge the blood shed on the border by his country's soldiers.

"On one side, Pakistan's Army chief is speaking of 'khoon ka badla khoon' and in India a Congress leader is thanking Pakistan. It is very sad and unfortunate," he said.

"We reject Bajwa's statement. India is capable of responding to them," he added.

Seeking to know if it (praise) was the Congress statement or of Sidhu, he said that until the opposition party clarified, the BJP will consider it a statement by Congress President Rahul Gandhi.

"Sidhu is not an individual. He is a Congress leader and a Cabinet Minister in Punjab," the BJP leader said, adding that his statement thanking Pakistan is an indication of what the Congress feels about that country.

He said that India and many of its Prime Ministers had tried many a time to improve bilateral relations but to no avail.

Addressing reporters in Chandigarh, Sidhu earlier in the day thanked his "friend" Imran Khan for enabling the opening of the corridor that would allow pilgrims from India to go to the gurdwara close to the international border in Pakistan.

"Ajj meri zindagi safal ho gayi (today, I have succeeded in life)," Sidhu told the media.

    This is the Master Plan ...when indian rupees hits 72...patrol diesel hit all time high... the master plan all these years is Pakistan. they divert citizens mind to Imran khan & pakistan & instigate hate & promote Bhakts as 0nly saviours. Their paid Tv channels never discuss Indian rupees /Patrol& diesel/ dhabolkar gauri lankesh murder etc.Instead kashmir /Pakistan/Rahul temple/Sidhu went Pakistan visit etc.

Modi and bjp trying to turn India in to disaster by nonsense policies... He told 54 inch chest have..if he have 0.01% education mind he comes knows that present policy are jokers policy.. I am still surprise why Media still not questions central govt...they must support national interest.. But media act like paid Media to demolished Indian Democratic.. We not to blame modi we should blame media as they enter in to corruption.. Even they blind about so many rape cases, Evm scam, and corruption rule by central govt.media should 3 rd eye of democracy but for mod govt its 3 rd area of profit.. Shame..

    My fellow Indians you like it not: We the Indians only shouting and even though Pakistan is 10 times smaller than India we can’t compete with Imran or Pakistan, Pakistan has the full support of worlds strongest Nation China and working/functioning military hardware from USA, Pakistani diplomat make real friendship with all nations and we are only show-up around the world. We have no real support from any developed country. We have no unity among our diverse population and our intolerance with our minority population will bring us international shame and poverty & it will bring us down. Our military hardware from Russia & France will not function during real war or when we need them most. So let us stop making fake news , Let us stop our corrupt ways and make real friendship with China, Pakistan and all other nations.

    If, Thanking for the Favour is a insult to BALATKHARI JANARA PARTY (not at all for Indians , then Hugging, Kissing, Exchanges of Sarees, Kurtas and Pyjamas and above all eating B'day Beef Biryani (BBB) in one plater (on special occasions Muslim are sharing the food in one big Plater to show their Respect & Love) is what Mr. Naqli Chaddi?????

    Few years back, Navjot and Imran were cricketers, of Pakistan and India.
    Today, Mr. Sidhu is one of the Minister of Punjab and Mr. Khan is the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
    RESPECT AND REVERENCE IS THE FACT.

    I believe that this is no issue to gain such publicity and it is an attempt to divert the common man's mind from the real issues.
    I would like to request the people holding important positions to please concentrate on the more important issues which at the moment are, the falling Rupee, the steeply rising fuel prices, the rising rate of unemployment, the deteriorating conditions of our roads, etc, etc which have made our lives miserable
    Please stop wasting time and energy on unimportant issues and concentrate on tackling the real issues
