Every year, four Indian Sikh ‘Jathas’ visit important gurdwaras in Pakistan as part of the bilateral Protocol to visit Religious Shrines, 1974.

The ISI is believed to be trying its level best to re-ignite the terror campaign by using the cloak of attempts to woo Sikh pilgrims.

Imran Khan said political leaders, army, all are on one page and wish to move forward for civilised relationship with India.

The corridor is planned as part of celebrations for the 550th birth anniversary next November of Guru Nanak.

Pakistan high commissioner Sohail Mahmood hailed the move as a “special gesture” by the Pakistan government.

New Delhi had last week said the matter of Kartarpur Sahib would be raised by Ms Swaraj with her Pakistani counterpart.
