"Whether it is national security, protecting culture and heritage or the country's development, the Punjab and Sikh community has always been at the forefront. From farming to industrialism, the people of Punjab have given their contribution. But what have 'Kattar' corrupts done to Punjab?", PM Modi asked.
On the eve of Baisakhi, the Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF)-led Sikh delegation offered prayers at Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara for a successful continuation of PM Modi’s leadership
A Pakistani website had recently hailed Sidhu for opening up of the Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara and claimed that it was opened after Imran Khan and Sidhu discussed the same during Khan's swearing in ceremony
Punjab DGP Dinkar Gupta said that nefarious elements in Pakistan were trying to make overtures to the pilgrims visiting Kartarpur, in order to radicalise them against India
PM Narendra Modi said that his government had taken steps to have the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor opened after Sikhs pilgrims had to wait to visit the shrine for decades.
Contradicting the claims of the Pakistani government, Pakistan Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid said that the Kartarpur corridor is the brainchild of Army chief General Bajwa and asserted that it will hurt India forever.
