Top News: Badal hail Centre's move on Kartarpur corridor

Former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Thursday welcomed the initiative of the NDA government to build and develop a modern and state-of-the-art corridor to facilitate pilgrims to offer prayers at the Kartarpur gurdwara in Pakistan where the first Sikh guru, Nanak Dev, spent the last 18 years of his life.

"This is indeed a befitting tribute to the great Guru Nanak Dev ji's cosmic vision transcending all kinds of barriers among human beings of different castes, creeds and countries," Badal, who has been Punjab chief minister five times, said in a statement.
