Kartarpur corridor opens |
India`s Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh along with other leaders laid the foundation stone for the Kartarpur corridor, which will facilitate easy passage to Sikh pilgrims to the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. This is a corridor to the shrine of peace, harmony and humanism, said Naidu. Now, you would not have to take a long and arduous route through Attari border. Now you would be able to visit the holy Kartarpur site directly, he added. In a world that is increasingly torn with narrow tunnel vision, bigotry and dogmatism, a world that is being fragmented and divided, a world that is witnessing needless violence and endless conflicts, we need all the strength to dispel the darkness that constantly threatens to envelop individuals, communities and nations, he further said. India wants good relationships with all our neighbours, but will never accept terrorism, it will not help those who send terrorists here. Punjab`s Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said we have come with a message of love, and we want Pakistan to reciprocate that. Until there is peace, I will not go to Pakistan, he said. Indian minister Harsimrat Badal thanked PM Modi and Pakistan PM Imran Khan for putting ``bitterness`` between the countries aside for Sikh Pilgrims.
