CHANDIGARH, Aug. 20 (TNS): After drawing flak from Indian Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and the opposition for embracing the Pakistan Army chief, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Monday that he was prepared to give a strong reply to all when needed.
“Whenever the reply has to be given, I will give and I will give it to all… It will be a strong reply,” Navjot Singh Sidhu, the only Indian to attend Imran Khan’s swearing-in ceremony as Pakistan’s prime minister, said in Chandigarh.
His comments come after Amarinder had yesterday ticked off his cabinet colleague for hugging Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
On his return from Pakistan yesterday, Mr Sidhu had defended his action, asking what was he supposed to do when someone tells him that “we belong to the same culture” and talks of opening the route to the historic Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib.
