The spirits are high, positive and in favor of Pakistan. Today marks the day when both rival countries (Pakistan and India) showed what they truly stand for. Kartarpur Corridor’s inauguration ceremony commenced and Prime Minister Imran Khan’s efforts to promote regional peace and inter-faith harmony have come to fruition.
Pakistan following the teachings of Islam that advise Muslims to live in harmony with the non-Muslims. Today, Kartarpur Corridor is an example of minorities being given the freedom to practice their faith openly in Pakistan. Moreover, this also lines with the iconic statement of the founder of Pakistan; Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

However, India on the very day of Kartarpur’s inauguration proved itself to be anything but tolerant towards the religious minorities; especially the Muslims. India announced Babri Mosque’s disputed land to be handed over to the Hindus. The Muslims have repeatedly shown written proof of the mosque to be built by the Mughals, however, India’s SC failed to recognize the plea.

Pakistan welcomes each and every pilgrim from all over the world. Moreover, this beautiful country has always respected minorities, their faith, culture, and traditions. Unlike India, that has only set examples of Hindu extremism, barbarity and utter disrespect towards their Muslim minorities in various shapes and forms.
The world witnessed the beauty of Pakistan and the integrity of its leader; Imran Khan. We congratulate not just Imran Khan but every Sikh Pilgrim that is set out to visit Pakistan.
