The Congress Tuesday said External Affairs Minster Sushma Swaraj should come out with her "version" of what transpired during the meeting with Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu to end the controversy over their discussion regarding the Kartarpur Sahib corridor.
While Sidhu claimed that Swaraj gave him an assurance that she will write a letter to the Pakistan government on a corridor to Kartarpur Sahib, just four kilometres from the Indian border, Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal made the counter-claim that he was reprimanded by the external affairs minister for meddling in what should be discussed between the two governments.
Responding to a question over the controversy, Congress' communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala said, "We would like to hear from Sushma Swaraj rather than source-based story being planted by the BJP, as to what transpired in a conversation between two people that is Sushma Swaraj and Sardar Navjot Singh Sidhu."
