:dateline:The Dal Khalsa has slammed Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh for turning down the invitation of Pakistan government to be a part of the inauguration ceremony to lay foundation stone for Kartarpur corridor on flimsy and unreasonable grounds.
�
It’s a repeat of political stupidity on part of Punjab CM, said party spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh while referring to Amrinder’s decline to meet the visiting Canadian Defense Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan in April last year.
Dal Khalsa leader said, �Harsimrat Kaur Badal will attend the event on behalf of the Government of India. If Pakistan is as bad as perceived by Amarinder, why has India decided to send two of its union ministers on an official visit?�
Another party leader H S Dhami said, �Amarinder is in illusion that by refusing to go to Pakistan, he will get Hindu votes beside pat from security establishment”. Terming it to be an historic moment for the Sikh Nation in particular and people of Punjab on both the sides in general�, he said �If you (Amarinder) don’t go, you will be the looser�.
He said unmoved by so-called blame-game leveled by Punjab CM on Pakistan, the Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu has shown the boldness to attend the event.�
Notably, the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will lay the foundation stone for constructing the main part of Kartarpur Sahib corridor on November 28.
