While official sources confirmed that India had proposed fresh dates, questions on whether its concerns had been addressed remained unanswered. Sources, in turn, said India’s decision to call for another meeting to work out the modalities shows “our commitment to the corridor”. Pakistan wants to keep the corridor open only on some days while India wants it accessible daily. At the very first meeting itself, India had made it clear that Pakistan should insulate Indian pilgrims from pro-Khalistan elements. This has become a concern particularly since pro-Khalistan elements have staged rallies outside Pakistani gurdwaras during visits by Indian pilgrims.
