‘Imran promised easy access to Kartarpur’: Sidhu on Pak visit

Congress leader Navjot Sidhu late on Sunday said chief minister Amarinder Singh had approved his upcoming visit to Pakistan to attend the Kartarpur corridor border ceremony and that he would be travelling as a friend.

Sidhu on Monday said prime minister Imran Khan had promised to him Pakistan will provide hassle-free access to the Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara, the holy shrine that is revered by the Sikhs on both sides of the Indo-Pak border.

India last week announced it will build the Kartarpur corridor so that Indian Sikhs could easily visit the holy shrine of Guru Nanak, which is a short distance from the international border between India and Pakistan.
