Sidhu wonders if entire nation can be blamed for handful of people

CHANDIGARH: Condemning the “cowardly” attack in Pulwama by a Pak-based terror group, Navjot Sidhu wondered if an entire nation could be blamed for a handful of people.



Chandigarh, February 15

Strongly condemning the “cowardly” attack in Pulwama by a Pakistan-based terror group in which 40 CRPF soldiers were killed, Punjab Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday asked whether an entire nation could be blamed for a handful of people.

The cricketer-turned-politician, who was among the invitees for the swearing-in ceremony of Imran Khan as Pakistan Prime Minister last year, however, posed, “For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual?”

Talking to reporters here after the Punjab Assembly was adjourned for the day in solidarity with the CRPF soldiers killed in the terror attack, 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.” PTI
