Rahul Gandhi is my captain, went to Pak with his blessings: Sidhu
New Delhi, Nov 30 (IBNS): After visiting Pakistan despite Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh's objection, state minister and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday said he took the step with the blessings of party "captain" Rahul Gandhi.
On being asked that why he went to Pakistan even as the Punjab CM, who is often referred to as "Captain", asked him not to do so, Sidhu said, "My captain is Rahul Gandhi, he has sent me everywhere."
Sidhu was present at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor in Pakistan where Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said the Indian politician could win elections even in his (Imran's) country.
Even as Amarinder Singh targeted Pakistan over the 'terrorist attacks' and had declined to visit the country, Sidhu played the goodwill ambassador when he arrived in the neighbouring nation to attend the Katarpur corridor ground-breaking ceremony in Nankana Sahib.
While Congress in Punjab appeared split over its relationship with Pakistan, especially after a recent terror attack in Amritsar, Sidhu reached the other side of border said he has brought with himself the message of "love and peace".
