Amritsar, October 17

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), in response to a city resident’s letter, has asserted that the Union Government was seized of the matter for opening a passage to Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan.

Kulwant Singh Ankhi had shot off a communiqué to the Centre on September 17.

MEA Deputy Secretary (Pakistan) Suresh Kumar, in a letter dated October 5, stated that the Centre had been taking up the matter with Pakistan. In 2005, the government had proposed to Pakistan the inclusion of Kartarpur Sahib in the list of shrines under the bilateral ‘Protocol on visits to religious shrines-1974’.

However, Kumar claimed Pakistan had so far neither agreed to include this under the bilateral protocol nor sent any communication for establishing the corridor.

He reiterated that the government would continue to take up the matter with Pakistan. — TNS
