Earlier, questioning the Padma Shri awarded to Adnan Sami, Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill on Sunday posed three questions to the Modi government. He asked why was the son of Pakistani Air Force Pilot awarded Padma Shri, while an Indian soldier Mohd Sannaullah was declared a foreigner under the Assam NRC. Taking a jibe at Adnan Sami's constant praise for the Centre, he asked if singing the party's praises were the key to get an award rather than contribution to society.
