    Sidhu condemns Pulwama attack, but asks why blame Pakistan
  • On Friday, Congress Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu condemned the ghastly Pulwama attack. But, he maintained an entire nation (Pakistan) can't be held responsible for the action of a handful.

    Sidhu's comments invited sharp criticism from netizens who accused him of taking a soft stand on Pakistan.

    To recall, Sidhu had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan last year.

    Here's more.

  • Speaking to reporters after the Punjab assembly was adjourned for the day to show solidarity towards the CRPF, Sidhu said, "It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished."

    However, he asked, "For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual?"

  • On his trip to Pakistan to congratulate Khan for becoming the PM, Sidhu hugged Pakistan Army General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

    His action had garnered ire not just from BJP but also from Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.

    Sidhu had also heaped praises on Khan and hoped India and Pakistan would iron out differences through dialogue.

    Khan had also appreciated Sidhu's stance.

  • While Sidhu seemed to take a soft stand on the issue, his party president Rahul Gandhi didn't. Condemning the atrocious attack which killed more than 40 soldiers, RaGa said opposition stands united with the government.

    He added hate won't be able to divide India.

    Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said India will never compromise with terrorism and it stands with the martyrs.

  • Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent out a stern message to Pakistan. Jaish-e-Mohammed, the outfit which carried out the attack, operates from the neighboring country for "Kashmir's freedom".

    PM Modi said those who committed the 'big crime' will be taught a lesson. He added Pakistan shouldn't think its tactics will be spared.

    Meanwhile, India withdrew the "Most Favorable Nation" accorded to Pakistan this morning.
