Eyeing 2022 Punjab assembly polls, the politicians are evoking Kartarpur corridor issue to woo the voters. The much-sought-after corridor, connecting Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan with Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab, was inaugurated on November 9, 2019. However, the pilgrimage was suspended on March 16, 2020, owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Tuesday took to Twitter to urge the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reopen the Kartarpur corridor before the Sikhs’ first master Guru Nanak Dev’s birth anniversary on November 19.
Joining Channi in his demand, Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu also visited Dera Baba Nanak in the morning to urge the Centre to reopen Kartarpur Sahib corridor.
