Open Kartarpur Corridor: SGPC Chief Jagir Kaur writes letter to PM Modi, HM Amit Shah

Amritsar, Nov 12, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
SGPC President Bibi Jagir Kaur has written letters to the Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi, Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, and Minister of External Affairs Dr S Jaishankar and demanded to reopen Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor to Pakistan.

Bibi Jagir Kaur demanded that Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor which is connected to the faith of the Sangat should be opened immediately and this initiative should be taken on the occasion of Parkash Gurpurb (birth anniversary) of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Bibi Jagir Kaur said, “The Parkash Gurpurb of the first Guru is being celebrated by the Sangat across the world on November 19, and Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor should be opened on this occasion.

Not opening the Corridor which was closed temporarily due to COVID-19 when the situation has normalised is a strike on the sentiments of the Sangat. Now life has returned to normal and flights to foreign countries have also resumed. The government has also allowed political and religious gatherings and events with COVID-19 protocol.”

Bibi Jagir Kaur said that although COVID-10 precautionary measures should be enforced for the pilgrims going to Sri Kartarpur Sahib, this Corridor should not remain closed for long.

Meanwhile, Bibi Jagir Kaur also slammed the Uttar Pradesh government for canceling the holiday on the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadar Sahib and giving a holiday on Chhath Puja in its place.

Bibi Jagir Kaur said, “We have no problem with the holiday on the eve of Chhath Puja, but in return it is not right to cancel the holiday dedicated to martyrdom day of Sri Guru Teg Bahadar Sahib. A letter is also being written to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath in this regard.”
