"It is known to all that Pakistan has been sponsoring terrorists in our country," the Bhojpuri singer-turned-politician said It was a disrespect to our martyrs and Sidhu will have to pay the heavy price for it, he said and demanded immediate dismissal of Sidhu by Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh from his cabinet.

Tiwari, also head of the BJP in Delhi, has come here to attend a religious function.
