Across the board, Sikhs were de­lighted at the lone Sikh pres­ence of for­mer crick­eter-turned-politi­cian Navjot Singh Sidhu at the swear­ing-in of the 22nd Pak­istan Prime Min­is­ter Im­ran Khan. While Navjot’s hug with Pak army chief Ba­jwa has un­nec­es­sar­ily dis­turbed many in In­dia, Sikhs have wel­comed the call for peace and the pos­si­bil­ity of open­ing the Kar­tarpur cor­ri­dor next year for 550 year birth an­niver­sary cel­e­bra­tions of Guru Nanak.  For once, Sidhu has brought un­prece­dented cheer to the Sikh world, leav­ing oth­ers to scorn and jeal­ousy.
