New Delhi: Head of the Punjab Congress Navjot Singh Sidhu was involved in controversy over his comments on Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan after he crossed the Kartarpur corridor to pay respect at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur City Saturday in Pakistan on Saturday afternoon.
Bharatiya Janata Party politician (BJP), who also tweeted a video, with a fierce objection to Sidhu seemed to describe the Cricketer-Politician Pakistan as ‘his brother’ while talking to the Chief Executive Officer of the Kartarpur Muhammad Latif corridor project management unit.
The party targets the Sidhu leader and Congress Rahul Gandhi and also raised the Sidhu issue to embrace the head of the Pakistani army of Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa during his visit to the Paccanan for Imran’s swear ceremony in August 2018.
During the interaction with the media later, Sidhu was very clear that he had nothing to say.
“Let BJP say whatever he wants,” said President Punjab PCC.
A short visit of Sidhu through a 4.5 km visa-free corridor has caused speculation of cracks between Sidhu and Charanjit Minister Singh Channi’s chairman as Head of PCC is not included in the delegation that accompanied the Punjab CM to Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara on November 18.
Highlighting the potential of extraordinary trade between India and Pakistan during interaction with the media, Sidhu said this could guarantee economic prosperity for the two countries.
Sidhu remembers Vajpayee’s bus visit to Pakistan “I request that if you want to change the life in Punjab, we have to open the border (for cross-border trade).
Why do we have to go through Mungra Port, a total of 2,100 km? Why not from here, where only 21 KM (between Amritsar and Lahore), “he said.
“When the Karachi-Mumbai route can be opened for rich people, why does Lahore-Amritsar route can’t be opened for a shared punjabis? Why doesn’t the entire punjab not visit Sahib Nanka? Why is tourism not promoted?” Sidhu asked when he promoted religious and medical tourism between the two neighbor.
He remembered a visit from Atal Prime Minister Bihari Vajpayee then to Pakistan on a bus and said that it had opened a love and peace journey between two countries.
He said spiritual, religious and medical tourism had the capacity to change the fate of the nation.
Sidhu also talked about the Hindu temple opening in Pakistan.
“If the life of the punjab must change, trade and medical tourism must begin,” he said and praised Imran as “an intellectual who would think of this problem”.
After both Punjab began to trade, they would achieve prosperity in a short time, he said.
“If this happens, both of Punjab, and both countries will advance within six months as much as they should have in 60 years.
This is a golden opportunity to change the lives of people.
I asked Modi Sahab & Khan Sahab to open the door.
Trading has a potential crore $ 275,000, “explained Sidhu.
Accompanied by the leaders and ministers of the senior Congress, including the Pargate of Singh, Aruna Chaudhary, Mohinder Singh Kp, Kulbir Singh Zira, and Amit Vij, Sidhu also gave an example of the European Union when he suggested a lesson from history.
Countless life, he said during the press you met at Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, the video he uploaded on Twitter and Facebook accounts was lost during the war between European countries.
“But when the war ends, these countries don’t just open their borders on a single visa but also introduce the euro single currency which is one of the strongest now,” he said.
