Terming the Kartarpur Corridor as a way forward towards moving ahead with the Pakistan-India relations, the Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Tuesday said this initiative will strengthen the peace efforts in wake of birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak.
In a statement, the CM said that the establishment of Kartarpur corridor is a historic step which will be regarded as a watershed moment in the history of sub-continent. "The Punjab government has always provided all possible facilities to the Sikh community and establishment of Kartarpur Corridor is a step in this direction for which the credit goes to the PTI government," he said, adding: "Prime Minister Imran Khan is an ambassador of peace and supports peaceful relations with the neighbouring countries. The PM in his maiden speech proposed settlement of differences with India through dialogue which shows that Pakistanis are harbingers of peace."
Buzdar further said that Kartarpur Corridor is a bridge to improve bilateral relations and Pakistan has again proved that Pakistan is a peace loving country in the region. Prime Minister Imran Khan has also propagated peace, he concluded.
It may be added that the proposal to construct the corridor providing visa-free access to Sikh pilgrims had been renewed by Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa in August this year.
