Pakistan better than South India; Sidhu once again expresses his affection for Pakistan
Navjot Sidhu is already facing severe criticism, and his statement ignited extremists' emotions more
(Web Desk) – Navjot Singh Sidhu seems utterly fall in love with Pakistan. His affection revealed after his visit to Pakistan to attend PM Imran Khan’s oath-taking ceremony. In his recent statement he stated Pakistan a better place to be at than South India. He was basically referring to the similarity in culture of people living at both sides of the borders.
“For me, when I travel to South, I can’t understand the language. Not that I dont like the food, but I cannot have it for a long time, the culture is totally different. When I got to Pakistan, the language is the same, like you know, when you abuse in English 10 times, one abuse in Punjabi overpowers all.” He expressed his feelings at a time when he was participating in the 7th Khushwant Singh Literature Fest.
Indian media and extreme elements have once again started censuring him. They could not have already digested his much-hyped visit to Pakistan. It peeved the Indian extremists who even sent him threats with extreme consequences. Indian government rose objections on his warm hug with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff. COAS’s gracious offer of opening Kartarpur corridor for the convenience of Sikh Pilgrims won the heart of Sikh community.

PM Imran Khan has also showed his love for Sidhu and had thanked him for coming to Pakistan. He in his maiden speech has even said that Pakistan would come forward many steps ahead for one step taken by India to expand positive relations with Pakistan. “Those in India who targeted him are doing a great disservice to peace in the subcontinent - without peace our people can’t progress,” Khan had said.
Indian extremists are protesting against him and are setting his effigies on fire. In spite of all that Sidhu seems to be determined on his stance of love for Pakistan and friendship between two states.
