CHANDIGARH: Expressing disappointment at Pakistan’s response to various issues raised by India during the first meeting on the Kartarpur Corridor, Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, on Friday, urged Islamabad to be more amenable and responsive to India’s demands, keeping in view the interests of the devotees seeking to pay obeisance at the historic Gurdwara across the border.
The CM added Islamabad’s response to India’s demands was totally inadequate and the neighbouring country needed to reconsider its stand, if the corridor is to serve its true purpose, in the spirit in which it was decided to be opened.
The governments of the two countries took a historic decision by agreeing to open the corridor to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, in November this year, said Amarinder, lauding the fact that the Pulwama attack and the subsequent IAF airstrikes were not allowed to scuttle talks between the two sides on taking the project forward.
