New Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI): Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu Monday met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and urged her to help initiate dialogue with Pakistan on the opening up of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor.

Union minister and Akali leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal, however, claimed that Ms Swaraj "reprimanded" Mr Sidhu for "messing up" the issue of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor dialogue and accused him of "misusing" the political clearance granted to him in visiting Pakistan recently to attend Imran Khan's swearing-in as prime minister there.

"External Affairs Minister (Swaraj) reprimands Navjot Sidhu for messing up Kartarpur Sahib corridor dialogue and misusing political clearance granted for private visit by hugging military Chief responsible for killing our soldiers," Ms Badal said.

Sources said Mr Sidhu met Ms Swaraj along with another senior Congress leader and a former Rajya Sabha MP to discuss the issue with her.

Mr Sidhu had courted controversy by hugging Pakistan Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa and claimed that he did so as Bajwa told him that the Pakistan government was working out opening of the Kartarpur corrdidor for Sikh pilgrims from Indian state of Punjab.

    Sushma Swaraj is only the Twitter minister. The keys to the External Affairs ministry is with Modi. Wonder why Sidhu went to meet her when she has no real power.
