Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Tuesday announced that the entire Punjab Cabinet will pay obeisance at Sri Kartarpur Sahib on November 18 as a part of first delegation after reopening of the historic corridor, connecting Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan Sahib — the last resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak, with Dera Baba Nanak (Gurdaspur) in Punjab.
The Chief Minister, addressing a gathering during a function to mark the death anniversary of former Punjab Minister and Congress stalwart Sardar Santokh Singh Randhawa in Gurdaspur, profusely thanked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for re-opening of the much-sought-after corridor ahead of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev’s prakash purb.
“I have personally taken the issue of reopening of corridor with the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister. This is a joyous occasion for entire Punjabi community in general and Sikh brethren in particular,” he said while announcing that the entire Punjab Cabinet will pay obeisance at Sri Kartarpur Sahib on November 18.
