Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu has cited late PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's 1999 bus trip to Lahore to defend his hug with Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Sidhu said efforts for peace were made in the past also. Calling the hug a "human reaction", Sidhu said, "Will you show your back if someone offers the hand of friendship?"
