The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday questioned the silence of Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib attack and the killing of a Sikh youth in Pakistan.

The SAD alleged that Sidhu has "sold his soul" to the Pakistan Army and its espionage agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and was not being honest with his own country and community.

In a statement here, former minister Maheshinder Singh Grewal said: "It is clear that Sidhu has sold his soul to the Pak military establishment and is being used by the ISI to further its anti-India plans."
Asking the Congress leader to clear the air immediately or be ready for consequences, Grewal said: "Sidhu must condemn the Pak establishment as well as his friend and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan immediately."
