In my opinion, Navjot Sidhu spoiled the sombre occasion of this corridor opening. His speech lacked decorum of "A Sikh Religious" gathering in a Gurdwara. Nowhere in a Gurdwara anybody claps.
But Sidhu was so comical while boasting and directly addressing Imran Khan, is telling him that Muslims can never understand the reach of flight of Sikhs imagination.
Moreover, like a clown he is telling the Sangat to clap against basic Rehat Maryada or decorum of a Diwan in presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. How stupid & non serious was Sidhu when he is saying "Thokko tadee".
It was total disrespect to presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji doing such clownish gestures like that. On the other hand Imran Khan was much humble and paid a tribute by saying Sri Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara is like Madina is to Muslim world.
This occasion was very sombre moment for Sikhs because for more than 70 years they have been longing to visit this very important historical shrine. We needed to see more seriousness in behaviour of all leaders.
Even Narinder Modi, no matter how much we criticize his policies, was most graceful in his behaviour as he offered his respects as a humble man and received Prasaad like ordinary Sikh longs to receive it.
