Imran Khan lays foundation of Kartarpur corridor, Sidhu calls Pak PM mere dildaar
Kartarpur, Nov 28 (IBNS) :Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday laid the foundation stone at the ground breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor in presence of two Indian Ministers.
The corridor will link Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, in Narowal district of Pakistan's Punjab province, the final resting place of Sikh faith's founder Guru Nanak, and the international border with India, facilitating Sikh pilgrims across the border.
Islamabad followed up India's decision to develop the Kartarpur corridor, last week and invited a few of Indian ministers to attend the ceremony in Pakistan.
Amid controversy over his visit, Punjab Cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday through the Attari-Wagah joint check post, around 30 km from Amritsar, for Wednesday's foundation stone laying event.
At the ceremony, Sidhu seated next to Imran Khan. Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Punjab Minister for Food Processing Industries also shared the stage with them.
Heaping praises on Imran Khan, whom he said "mere yaar, mere dildaar (my friend, my partner of heart), Sidhu said the Pak PM has ended 70 years of wait."Long live India, long live Pakistan... there has been much of bloodshed...we need to change our thinking," Sidhu said while addressing the gathering.
Sidhu had earlier said the Kartarpur Corridor has the potential to erase enmity between India and Pakistan and bring peace in the subcontinent. He heaped praises on "friend" Imran Khan for ensuring that the corridor became a reality.
