Chandigarh: Taking strong exception to the recent statements by two of Navjot Singh Sidhu’s advisors on matters related to Kashmir and Pakistan, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday (August 22, 2021) warned them against such atrocious and ill-conceived comments that were potentially dangerous to the peace and stability of the state and the country. The Chief Minister was reacting to reported remarks by Dr Pyare Lal Garg and Malwinder Singh Mali and advised them to stick to giving advice to the newly appointed PPCC president Sidhu.  “Kashmir was and is an inalienable part of India,” asserted the Chief Minister, adding that with his proclamation to the contrary, Mali had effectively and inexplicably toed Islamabad’s line. “This is totally anti-national,” he said, also slamming Mali for failing to withdraw his statement despite the widespread condemnation it had evoked not only from other parties but also from within  the Congress.
