SHILLONG: State Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on Thursday burnt photos of Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu here for hugging Pakistan army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa during the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad recently.
Condemning Sidhu’s act, BJYM leader Egenstar Kurkalang said the country is mourning the death of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and demanded a public apology from Sidhu through news channel both electronic and print media immediately.
State BJP president Shibun Lyngdoh said Sidhu should step down as Cabinet minister and should tender his apology to families of slain soldiers.
