Sikh pilgrims and local religious leaders in Pakistan are disappointed that the Kartarpur Corridor is still closed from the Indian side for the sixth day in a row, even though a truce between India and Pakistan has been restored.
The ongoing shutdown has angered local Sikh pilgrims in Shakargarh, Narowal, who have urged New Delhi to keep religion and politics apart.
One pilgrim from the area stated, “We are awaiting the arrival of our Sikh brothers from India.” Allow them to visit the revered Darbar Sahib for darshan. This is not a political place, but one of dedication and calm.
On the Pakistani side, the corridor, which allows Indian Sikh pilgrims to reach the holy Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Pakistan, without a visa, is still fully functional.
