Navjot Singh Sidhu summons two of his advisors, seeks explanation over 'anti-national' remarks
Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday summoned both his advisors Malwinder Singh Mali and Dr. Pyare Lal Garg to his Patiala residence to discuss their recent comments on Pakistan, Kashmir, and the controversial sketch of late PM Indira Gandhi posted by one of them on social media.
The summon came a day after Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday warned both his advisors Malwinder Singh Mali and Dr. Pyare Lal Garg against such atrocious and ill-conceived comments that were potentially dangerous to the peace and stability of the state and the country.

He also urged Sidhu’s advisors to stick to giving advice to the PPCC president and not speak on matters of which they clearly had little or no knowledge, and had no understanding of the implications of their comments.

Responding to the same, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra, said that "Their comments are appalling and paint India in a bad picture. It shows the thought process of the party. Will Rahul Gandhi answer whether he appointed Sidhu's advisors?"
Likewise, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Daljit Singh Cheema said, "Who extended a hand of friendship towards Pakistan PM when the nation was against Pakistan? Who hugged Pak Army Chief? Navjot Singh Sidhu."
"When he's like that, why to complain about advisors?" asked Daljit Singh Cheema.
Commenting on Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's advisors Pyare Lal Garg and Malwinder Singh Mali's comments on Pakistan and Kashmir, Congress leader Manish Tewari asked, "Do such people even have the right to live in the country, forget about being in the Party?"
