[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Visiting Pakistan for the groundbreaking Kartarpur Corridor ceremony is troubling cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu as he is being heavily criticised for it.<\/p>\n
Moreover, a senior Punjab Minister on Saturday (Dec 1) asked for Sidhu\u2019s resignation over remarks on Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh.<\/p>\n
Earlier in a statement Sidhu had said, \u201cMere captain Rahul Gandhi hain, unhone toh bheja hai har jagah (my captain is Rahul Gandhi, he has sent me everywhere,\u201d while answering a question regarding the controversy around his visit.<\/p>\n
The resignation demand came even as Sidhu backtracked on his claim in Hyderabad that he attended the groundbreaking ceremony in Pakistan for the Kartarpur corridor after Congress President Rahul Gandhi asked him to go.<\/p>\n
“Rahul Gandhi didn’t ask me to go, I went on (Pakistan Prime Minister) Imran Khan’s personal invite,” Sidhu tweeted.<\/p>\n
