In August 2018, Sidhu was criticised by Captain Amarinder Singh, then Chief Minister of Punjab, and the BJP leadership for hugging Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa in Islamabad. He obliged each and every one before proceeding to the Gurdwara a few kilometres down the road. Sidhu and the Congress delegation were showered with rose petals, garlanded and escorted to the Pakistan immigration check post where Sidhu was flooded with requests for photographs and selfies by Pakistan Rangers personnel and immigration staff. (In New Delhi, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra also targeted the Congress, alleging that it sees terror groups like ISIS and Boko Haram in Hindutva while it finds a “bhai jaan” in Khan.) He said it is “grossly condemnable and reprehensible” that on the one hand, Pakistan has been “killing our jawans” on the border, and on the other hand, Congress leaders have been singing praise of the Pakistan Prime Minister. AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi should explain their party’s stand on Pakistan,” Chugh said. “Sidhu is more in love with Pakistan than India and is behaving like a Pakistan agent in Punjab here. In a statement, Chugh said it is most unfortunate for Punjab and the country that Sidhu, while in Pakistan, has no words of praise for his motherland, and is instead singing praise of the Pakistan Prime Minister who has been “sending drones and tiffin bombs” to Punjab. BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh said “Sidhu is Congress’s agent for Pakistan”. The BJP slammed Sidhu for his remark on Imran Khan.
