‘Not visiting Pakistan for Corridor Opening’:Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

New Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Thursday ruled out a visit to Pakistan for the Kartarpur corridor opening, making it clear that he would be only leading the first all-party ‘jatha’ (religious group) to the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara to pay obeisance. Amid reports incorrectly suggesting that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had accepted Pakistan’s invitation to go there for the opening of the Kartarpur corridor, the Chief Minister said he did not believe the former Prime Minister had any such plans either. “There is no question of me going (to Pakistan for Kartarpur corridor opening) and I feel Dr. Manmohan Singh will not go as well,” he said, pointing out that there was a huge difference between visiting Pakistan and going to the historic gurdwara through the corridor. The Chief Minister’s remarks came in response to questions after a section of the media erroneously claimed that Manmohan Singh had accepted Pakistan’s invite and would be going across the border for the Kartarpur corridor inauguration.
