The Chief Minister of the Indian state of Punjab, Amarinder Singh, has invited Speaker of the Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Parvez Elahi to visit India. Parvez Elahi welcomed the invitation but invited Amarinder Singh to first visit Pakistan. Elahi has invited the Indian Punjab CM to the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor in Pakistan on November 28. Prime Minister Imran Khan is scheduled to perform the ground-breaking ceremony.
It may be noted that Pakistan has invited the former Indian cricketer Navjot Sindh Singhu, Indian officials and journalists, to the foundation laying ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor on November 28. Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, located in the Kartarpur area of Narowal district of Punjab, is the final resting place of the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Devji, and one of the holiest shrines of the Sikh community.
Pakistan and India have decided to open the Kartarpur border corridor to facilitate Sikh pilgrims visiting one of their holiest sites on the banks of River Ravi in a move that analysts say might thaw the frosty relationship between the two neighbours.
