Congress leader Navjot Sidhu is receiving flak from politicians and many prominent personalities for his comment on Pulwama terror attack. Now,  Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday jabbed Sidhu, alleging that for the Punjab minister, friendship with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was more important that the nation's interest.

Kejriwal told PTI,  "Sidhu's statement has hurt the sentiments of the entire nation.” He further added, "It seems for Sidhu, friendship (with Khan) comes first and then the nation.”

A day after Mr Sidhu's party advised him to be in sync with public sentiments, Congress senior leader Digvijaya Singh took a swipe at him, saying, "Navjot Singh Sidhu ji, please make your friend Imran bhai understand," Mr Singh tweeted. "You are being abused because of him," he continued in another tweet.

Navjot Sidhu, who calls Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan his friend, had said that the entire country cannot be blamed for the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF soldiers lost their lives. He was panned for the comment by the opposition and even his own party.

On the other hand, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said Pakistan will retaliate if India attacks. "All this 'attack Pakistan' talk is all keeping elections in mind. But if at all these are serious, please make note of one thing clearly - Pakistan will not think of retaliating, it will retaliate.”
