‘Kartarpur Corridor to go ahead – with or without India’
Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said that regardless of Indian cooperation, Pakistan has taken the principled stance of opening the Kartarpur Corridor before the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak Devji in November.
The governor assured Pakistan would complete and formally inaugurate the Kartarpur corridor by November — with or without India. “We will not compromise on the rights of minorities who are residing in Pakistan. It is a safe country for minorities,” he maintained.
Presiding over a Religious Tourism and Heritage committee meeting on Wednesday, the governor of Punjab said the decision has been taken to finalise the visa-issuance process for Sikh pilgrims from India and around the world. It will ensure they are able to attend the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak Devji in Nankana Sab before September 30th.

Pakistan to invite Manmohan Singh to Kartarpur corridor inauguration

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday announced that Pakistan has decided to extend an invitation to former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh for the inauguration of the Kartarpur corridor, which is scheduled to be opened in November.
"Kartarpur corridor is an important project, the prime minister has a personal interest in it," said Qureshi in a video message.
"After consultations, Pakistan has decided to invite Manmohan Singh to the inauguration, who we hold in high regard. He will represent the Sikh community."
"On behalf of the government, as the foreign minister of Pakistan, I invite him to attend the inauguration of the Kartarpur corridor," said Qureshi, adding that the government also intends to send Singh a formal written invitation.
The foreign minister also invited Sikh yatris in his message, saying: "We also await the Sikh yatris [...] to come and take part in the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak."
Earlier this month, Pakistani project director Atif Majeed had said the visa-free border crossing from India to Kartarpur, Pakistan, would be inaugurated on Nov 9, just ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism founder Baba Guru Nanak on Nov 12.
It was also announced that Pakistan has agreed to allow 5,000 Sikh pilgrims from India to visit on a daily basis the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Narowal through the Kartarpur corridor.
Pakistan has kept the corridor project insulated from the recent tensions with India over annulment of Article 370, subsequent repressive actions in occupied Kashmir and intensified ceasefire violations on the Line of Control. The project had also remained unaffected by the previous episode of escalation between the two sides following the Pulwama attack in February.

October 01, 2019 .. India on Tuesday has forwarded a draft of agreement regarding Kartarpur Corridor to Pakistan.
According to sources, the Pakistani government is considering to send reply to the Indian authorities and also expected to raise service fee.
Earlier, Pakistan had decided to invite former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the inaugural ceremony of Kartarpur Corridor. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that the decision to invite Singh was taken after high-level consultation.
However, a formal invitation will soon be dispatched to him, he added.
It is to be mentioned here that Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate the project on November 9, three days before the 550th birth anniversary Baba Guru Nanank that will be celebrated on November 12.
Kartarpur Corridor Project Director Atif Majeed said that the prime minister had laid foundation stone of the project last year on November 28. 5000 Sikh pilgrims will arrive and stay in the initial phase while later, more 10,000 pilgrims will come, he added.
Atif Majeed said that Pakistan’s biggest Gurdwara Baba Guru Nanak comprises of 42 acres of land while Panja Sahib Gurdwara comprises of four acres of land and Nankana Sahib Gurdwara comprises of 14 acres of land.
The work on the project is underway 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, he went on to say.
Pakistan is building the corridor from the Indian border to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, while the other part from Dera Baba Nanak up to the border is being constructed by India.
India is constructing a bridge at the zero point and has urged Pakistan to build a similar bridge on its side that will provide safe and secure movement of pilgrims.

Manmohan to visit Kartarpur Gurdwara
Ex-Indian PM Manmohan Singh. File photo
NEW DELHI: Indian former prime minister Manmohan Singh will visit the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan for the birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Nanak as part of an all-party group next month as he accepted an invitation by Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind have also accepted the Punjab government’s invitation to be a part of the celebrations on the opening of Kartarpur Corridor to be held in the Indian Punjab. Amarinder Singh called on Manmohan Singhat his residence in Delhi and asked him to attend the first all-party 'jatha' (a march organised by armed Sikhs) to Kartarpur Sahib on November 9.
The Punjab CM’s media adviser tweeted that the former PM has accepted the invitation. This would first require clearance from the central government. The media adviser said Singh would also attend the “main event at Sultanpur Lodhi to mark Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's 550th Prakash Purab”.

During his meeting with Manmohan Singh, Amarinder Singh also urged for his personal intervention to facilitate the political clearance for allowing the special all-party "jatha" to visit Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, the birth place of the first Sikh guru, on the historic occasion of the corridor's opening. He requested that a group of 21 persons may be allowed to visit Nankana Sahib to organise a "path" (reading of religious scriptures) on the occasion of the 550th Prakash Purb from October 30 to November 3 and bring a "Nagar Kirtan" to Sultanpur Lodhi via Amritsar (Wagah) later in the day. The "Nagar Kirtan" will arrive at Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab's Kapurthala district on November 4. The chief minister has also written to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, seeking a formal clearance for the Nankana Sahib delegation visit and the "Nagar Kirtan" to be brought from Pakistan to Punjab, according to an official spokesperson.

You are obviously an Indian troll.
There are idiots and Buffoons like yourself on both sides of the border. Nations fight with each other and within but time heals everything. Muslims slaughtered each other and got slaughtered . It’s time to move on and bury the past . Please don’t tell me about partition. My forefathers came from India and they suffered tremendously .
