Navjot Singh Sidhu arrives in Pakistan to visit Kartarpur gurdwara

Kartarpur: Former Indian cricket star and Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu arrived at the Kartarpur Corridor at Dera Bana Nanak in Gurdaspur to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib In Karpartur in Pakistan today.

Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's visit comes after a fresh tussle erupted in Punjab Congress following the exclusion of his name from Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi-led delegation comprising state cabinet ministers that visited the Kartarpur Sahib on Thursday.

The visa-free 4.7-kilometre long Kartarpur Corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab's Gurdaspur to Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, a small town in Pakistan's Punjab province, about 4 km from the International Border. It is the place where the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak is believed to have spent the last 18 years of his life.

It is pertinent to remember that following the Covid outbreak, Pakistan suspended the movement on the Kartarpur Corridor in March 2020.
