Well, finally within a year’s work on Kartarpur corridor, the Pakistani PM Imran Khan successfully pleased Sikhs. Pakistani PM not only did wonders for minorities in Pakistan but gained momentum over his peace process for Gulf countries. He was responsible for creating a no war situation between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Imran Khan traveled to Iran and then to Saudi Arabia for his peacemaking efforts and was successful.
A year ago, Pakistani army chief told that the country will be opening the Kartarpur corridor soon. However, the Modi govt didn’t believed, it would happen. So, Indian govt even after many peace gestures by Pakistani PM opposed talking to Mr Khan to resolve Kashmir issue amicably. Now, Narendra Modi also expressed his praises to the Pakistani workers and Imran Khan. The praises from PM Modi was taken by the people of Pakistan as Modi spoke these words fearing Sikh community. Meanwhile, Indian star former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu also gave flying hug to PM Modi. Sidhu was overjoyed and in his own style he too praised the Pakistani PM.
However, Modi’s close associate spoke to the Sikhs repeatedly by saying Pakistan is playing some game. He said, “daal mein kuch kala hai” and he’s also a Sikh and told these words. These words are said over and again and means something is there as fishy. Incidentally, Indians and Pakistanis had a tough fight on social media. People from India commented about Pakistan’s weakness as the Pakistanis were insulted. Flurry of comments between Indians and Pakistanis keeps coming in to know the hatred between these two countries. But, from around the world, the Sikhs praised Pakistan for opening Kartarpur corridor. PM Narendra Modi was also impressed with the way in a short time Pakistan made it possible.
