In a sterner tone Amarinder Singh said: “I am warning you (Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Bajwa), we are also Punjabis, you will not be allowed to enter here and vitiate the atmosphere.”
Vice President Venkaiah Naidu too agreed with Singh and said: “I must tell what Punjab CM said, that we can't allow terrorism and we simply cannot let innocents die, this isn't going to help, it's not the way; it must be understood. That’s why let this be the start of this great event.”
Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Punjab CM Singh on Monday laid the foundation stone for the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, which will facilitate easy passage to Sikh pilgrims to the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan.
The decision to build the passage - from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district to the International Border - was taken by the Union Cabinet on November 22. Kartarpur is located in Shakargarh in Narowal district of Pakistan's Punjab. Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, had spent more than 18 years of his life there. The Gurdwara is located on the banks of the Ravi river, about three-four km from the border in Pakistan.
