Former Indian cricket star Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday arrived in Pakistan to a warm welcome to attend the oath-taking ceremony of prime minister-elect Imran Khan, who had brought the 92'World Cup home.
TV footage showed the cricketer turned politician walking over to the Lahore side of the Wagah border.
Talking to reporters soon after his arrival in Pakistan, Sidhu said he had come to the country as a goodwill messenger and"with a message of love"to become a part of Khan's happiness.
Answering a question, he said he had brought a Kashmiri shawl as a gift for Khan. He also entertained reporters with a few couplets conveying a message of peace and love between the two neighbours.
