“Pakistan has reliable intelligence that India is hatching a new plan for aggression against Pakistan. But despite tensions, Pakistan accepted the Indian proposal for a technical meeting on the corridor. Continuing with #Pakistan’s spirit of constructive engagement, we have agreed to the Indian proposal for a technical meeting on 16 April. Responding to the Indian concerns, Pakistan clarified that the 10-member, purely religious committee referred to by India [the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (PSGPC)] was not specific to Kartarpur Sahib but was responsible for upkeep of all Sikh Gurdwaras in Pakistan. India, which otherwise refused to engage with Pakistan, is finding it hard to run away from the Kartarpur initiative given the religious sentiments of Indian Sikhs.
