Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday paid obeisance at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, and urged the Centre to reopen the Kartarpur corridor.
Mann, who was accompanied by his wife Gurpreet Kaur, told reporters that he prayed for progress, peace and harmony in Punjab.
To a question on the reopening of the Kartarpur corridor, Mann said the Centre should reopen it.
“What is the use if they reopen it when someone writes to them. They should reopen on their own. Now, cricket matches are also being played with them (Pakistan). Devotees even return after 4-5 hours after paying obeisance at the Kartarpur Sahib. Therefore, the home ministry and external affairs ministry should reopen the Kartarpur corridor,” he demanded.
