Sidhu summons his advisors over their comments on Kashmir, Pakistan

Chandigarh: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday summoned his two newly appointed advisors to his residence in Patiala over their comments on Kashmir, Pakistan and the controversial sketch of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

The PPCC president summoned his advisors Malwinder Singh Mali and Pyare Lal Garg to discuss their recent statements on sensitive national issues like Kashmir and Pakistan and also the controversial sketch of Indira Gandhi that Mali had posted on social media.

On Sunday, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had taken strong exception to their statements and warned against such atrocious and ill-conceived comments.

He urged Sidhu’s advisors to stick to giving advice to the PPCC president and not speak on matters of which they clearly had little or no knowledge, and had no understanding of the implications of their comments.

Chief Minister urged Navjot Singh Sidhu to rein in his advisors before they end up doing more damage to India’s interests.

Opposition parties like the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal and AAP had hit out at the ruling Congress party in Punjab over their recent remarks. (UNI)
