SAD asks Amarinder to explain why Sidhu exchanged pleasantries with Pak army chief

Chandigarh, Nov 28 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday asked Congress Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to explain why his Cabinet Minister Navjot Sidhu went to Pakistan and exchanged pleasantries with General Qamar Bajwa whom he had threatened with repercussions because he was always trying to disturb the peace of Punjab.
In a statement here, SAD spokesman Maheshinder Singh Grewal said it was revolting that Navjot Sidhu did not only shake hands with the Pak army chief but also exchanged pleasantries with him. “Sidhu apparently did not even heed his own Chief Minister’s advice on this issue and did not tell Gen Bajwa to stop terrorist activities in Punjab in his speech on the occasion”.
Stating that Navjot Sidhu had shown down his Chief Minister, the SAD leader said now it was up to Capt Amarinder Singh to take action against Sidhu because he had not only defied his advice not to visit Pakistan but had also chummed up with the same Pak General again. “This is the same General who is sending drugs into Punjab. He is the same General who sent hand grenades into Punjab which were used for bomb blasts recently. The Pakistan Prime Minister has suggested Sidhu contest elections from Pakistan. I think Capt Amarinder should take Imran Khan on his word and free Sidhu so that he can take up this offer”.
