As Pakistan opens #katarpurcorridor I am filled with pride & happy to welcome all Sikh brothers & sisters and at the same time I feel extremely sad because of #AYODHYAVERDICT and pray for all in India.This is not the Incredible India, secular India. It’s a shameful day for India.

The opening of the #KartarpurCorridorForPeace in time for Guru Nanak’s 550th Gurpurab is a real milestone. It’s a sign of true religious harmony & how open hearted Pakistanis are. All too often men build walls & not enough bridges .. 🇵🇰 #Kartarpur #Kartarpur2Khalistan2020

A friend Zarmina, visited the #KartarpurCorridor and can’t stop raving its beauty & the fact that it was all completed in 8 months. Religious harmony & the facilitation to allow all faiths to practice their beliefs is key to peace. A warm welcome to the #SikhCommunity #Kartarpur pic.twitter.com/YTf410HupN
