AMRITSAR: While quipping that cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu enjoys 'influence' in Pakistan , SAD(B) chief and former deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal mocked that if Sidhu enjoyed so much clout in Pakistan that he could make Kartarpur Sahib corridor opened in few minutes, then he should also use his influence to stop cross border terrorism , infiltration and ISI’s plots to disturb peace in Punjab.

Badal junior was talking to media persons during his personal visit to Amritsar on Wednesday.

"He has just thrown a proverbial cat , the issue of corridor is being consistently taken up with the Central government, we had also taken up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj" he said.

While challenging Sidhu, he said “We give him a month’s time to persuade Pakistan government to stop terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, stop killing of Indian soldiers, stop ISI from disrupting peace in Punjab”

Talking about justice Ranjit Singh commission , Sukhbir raised questions over his educational credentials. He alleged that justice Ranjit Singh had fabricated the statement of witness and stressed on booking him under 420 IPC. "If not now, then he will be definitely be booked in our government’s tenure" he said.

He also claimed that jail minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa was the brainchild behind the report “We will also expose the role of Sukhpal Singh Khera in a day or two” he said.

Without naming anyone he alleged that these people move on the directions of ISI. “These people are not concerned with Sikhi but wanted to disturb the peace of state and we will expose the complete conspiracy in near future” he said. He also questioned the source of funds received by Sikh leaders sitting on dharna at Bargari.
