Sri Amritsar- Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj, has called upon the governments of India and Pakistan to reopen the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor soon, especially now that the atmosphere between the two countries is becoming more peaceful.
He stated that Sikhs pray daily for open access to the gurdwaras from which they were separated, and therefore, keeping the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor closed is not justified. Reopening the corridor, he said, would further contribute to peace and harmony between the two nations and strengthen mutual ties.
He emphasized that since the corridor was first opened, a large number of Sikh devotees have been visiting the holy site of Sri Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib in Narowal, where they bow in reverence and receive the blessings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Hence, reopening the corridor without delay would reflect and honour the sentiments of the Sikh community.
Jathedar Gargajj also remarked that both nations—and the region as a whole—are in greater need of peace, progress, mutual love, and cooperation, rather than tension and conflict. He praised those national and international leaders who have played a wise and compassionate role in defusing war-like situations and promoting calm.
