New Delhi: Lauding Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Punjab local bodies minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday said that the “real credit” for initiation of the Kartarpur corridor goes to the former cricketer.
“The real credit for the corridor goes to Imran Khan, and also to the people, who prayed for several years for its construction,”
Requesting people to not indulge in politics over the corridor, the minister said, “The entire world is happy. Religion should be kept away from politics. Let people like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ghulam Ali reduce differences.”
Further Sidhu said, “This man has struggled for 24 years from one seat to the chair of Pakistan prime minister.”
The Punjab minister’s comments comes on the day India is marking the 10th anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, in which 166 people were killed by 10 Pakistani terrorists. A day earlier, CM Amarinder Singh had declined Pakistan’s invite to the ground-breaking ceremony for the corridor citing terror attacks. (Agencies)
