Chandigarh: As India mourned the killing of at least 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers in a suicide attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, Punjab Cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday favoured talks with Pakistan.
At least 40 CRPF personnel were killed on Thursday in one of the worst terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden SUV into their bus in Pulwama district.
JeM terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Notably, Navjot Singh Sidhu, the cricketer-turned-politician, was among the invitees for the swearing-in ceremony of his 'friend' Imran Khan as Pakistan’s PM in 2018.
"Where ever wars are fought and such things (Pulwama-type attack) happen, dialogue also continues simultaneously. There is a need to find a permanent solution to (issues between India and Pakistan). Such people (terrorists) have no religion, no country and no caste. When a snake bites, its antidote is also snake poison," Sidhu said.
Condemning the attack in Pulwama, Sidhu, however, posed: “For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual?"
Sidhu’s statement came despite the fact that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has not even condemned the attack even hours after the strike.
While Pakistan's PM Imran Khan stayed silent, countries from across the globe, including the US, Russia, China, France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, have condemned the brutal attack.
