Summary:
On Monday, Sidhu met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and urged her to help initiate dialogue with Pakistan on the opening up of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor. Giving details about the meeting with Swaraj, Sidhu on Tuesday said: “We had a detailed discussion during the meeting, explained to her about the necessity of opening of the Kartarpur corridor. Weeks have passed, but the Congress minister couldn't produce any document,” Harsimrat added. Tearing into Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Tuesday accused him of misleading people about Pakistan’s alleged assurance on allowing Sikh pilgrims direct access to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, along the India-Pakistan border, next year. Harsimrat, however, claimed that Swaraj "reprimanded" Sidhu for "messing up" the issue of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor dialogue and accused him of "misusing" the political clearance granted to him in visiting Pakistan recently to attend Imran Khan's swearing-in as prime minister there..
