Talking about his views on state minister Navjot Singh Sidhu's remark on Pulwama attack, Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh said, "Sidhu was a cricketer while I was a soldier, and both have different viewpoints on things." "Sidhu doesn't understand defence intricacies and had possibly reacted out of friendly motive," he stated. The CM added Sidhu's "intentions were surely not anti-national".
