Don't Speak On Sensitive Issues: Amarinder Singh To Team NavJot Sidhu

The simmering tension between Amarinder Singh and Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu was exposed again today as the Chief Minister issued a warning to the opposing camp not to comment on "sensitive national issues". This was the second time in four days that the Chief Minister rebuked Mr Sidhu's advisors over their comments on Jammu and Kashmir. 'Stick to giving advice to Punjab Congress  president and don't speak on sensitive national issues of which you have little or no knowledge, with no idea of their implications," the Chief Minister said. The comments were directed at Pyare Lal Garg and Malwinder Mali, whom Mr Sidhu had recently appointed his advisors. Mr Mali had made headlines earlier this week with his claim that Kashmir was a separate country and both India and Pakistan were illegal occupants. Reports said Pyare Lal Garg had questioned Mr Singh's criticism of Pakistan.
