Gurdwara visit isn’t laughter challenge: Minister Hardeep Puri slams Sidhu

Different Strokes with Union Minister of State Hardeep Puri. In an exclusive interaction with Hindustan Times, Hardeep Puri accused Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu of using the Kartarpur corridor ceremony for political purposes rather than a pilgrimage. “Kartarpur inauguration was used by Navjot Singh Sidhu and people on the Pakistan side for political rather than religious purposes,” he says. Hardeep Puri and Cabinet minister Harsimrat Badal had gone to Pakistan to represent India at the ceremony. Puri also took a veiled dig at Sidhu saying that “visiting a Gurudwara is not a laughter challenge.” He said that the Congress leader must do some serious introspection. “I think Sidhu is being used,” he opines. In this interview, Hardeep Puri also goes on to speak about being bullied in school as a kid and his love for Pink Floyd.
