Was just a hug, not Rafale deal: Navjot Singh Sidhu to Defence Minister

Deccan Chronicle  

Chandigarh: Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu once again asserted that his hug to Pakistan's army chief has been blown out of proportion. On Tuesday, Sitharaman said that Navjot Singh Sidhu's gesture of hugging Pakistan's army chief impacted soldiers back home, adding that the Punjab minister could have "avoided it". Navjot Singh Sidhu courted controversy by hugging Pakistan Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa during his visit to Pakistan for the swearing-in of Imran Khan as Prime Minister last month. Navjot Singh Sidhu had earlier said that he hugged Bajwa after he told him that Pakistan would open the Kartarpur border for Sikhs from India's Punjab to visit to Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan. Criticizing the Shiromani Akali Dal, an ally of the BJP, Navjot Singh Sidhu said it was "frustrated" and accused the party of creating hurdles in the Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara corridor issue.
