Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur: Pakistan committed to complete development work

Pakistan is committed to completing all development work on Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur a sacred place for Sikhs and where Guru Nanak Dev spent 18 years by November this year to allow visa-free entry to the Indian Sikhs.
Diplomatic sources said on Monday that a delegation comprising officials from Ministry of Interior, Federal Investigation Agency, Ministry of Law and Justice and others would leave for India on March 14 to discuss Kartarpur corridor with Indian officials.
The sources said that a technical level meeting was also expected with Indian officials during the visit. On Indian dossier regarding the Pulwama attack, the officials said that it was being examined and would be given an official response on it soon. "We cannot say anything on it at this stage," the officials said.
About the Samjhota Express bombing, the officials said it was a clear act of terrorism, but unfortunately India has released all main culprits behind the bombing.
The officials said that tensions with India that escalated after the Pulwama suicide attack in Indian-held Kashmir on February 14 have cooled off due to "quick, effective and timely" response of Pakistan Air Force. They said that Pakistan's response to India over violation of the Line of Control was "so powerful" that it was registered across the whole world, adding that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to play the antics before the elections, but that all backfired.
About crackdown against outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Tayyba and Jamat-ud-Dawa, the officials said the actions against these organisations were being taken under the National Action Plan formulated in 2014 after deadly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar.
"The latest crackdown against these outfits is not the result of any external pressure," they clarified, adding that Pakistan has taken up the issue of Indian aggression at the United Nations. They said that Pakistan will also take up the issue of an Indian submarine that tried to cross into Pakistani waters at the international forums.
"We are ready to give a befitting response to India if it tried to do any misadventure again," the officials said. The officials said that both Pakistan and India were faced with numerous issues of urgent public importance including poverty and unemployment, so there is need to address them at the earliest instead of resorting to war.
About reports of India stopping water of three eastern rivers from flowing into Pakistan, the officials clarified that there is no truth in these reports. "It is not an easy job to stop the water. Don't worry about it," they said.
