Reopen Kartarpur corridor, demands SGPC president

Ropar, December 17

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Bibi Jagir Kaur has demanded reopening of the Kartarpur corridor at the earliest. The Kartarpur corridor is a visa-free passage to Pakistan for visiting the Darbar Sahib gurdwara. The corridor has been shut since March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The SGPC president was here to visit Shaheedi Jor Mela at Gurdwara Bhatta Sahib. Interacting with mediapersons, she said now there was no logic in keeping the corridor shut just because of the pandemic as all other gurdwaras had already been opened.

Terming the suicide by Sant Baba Ram Singh at the Singhu border as a ‘black day’ in the history of the country, the SGPC chief said it was a blot on the image of the Union Government. — TNS
