During the partition of 1947, not only the country but also Punjab was divided into two parts: AAP leader Raghav Chadha
New Delhi: Apna Punjab Media: Aam Aadmi Party MP from Punjab Raghav Chadha raised the issue of Sri Nankana Sahib Corridor in Rajya Sabha today. Mr Chadha appealed to the Central Government to hold talks with the Pakistan Government to make Sri Nankana Sahib a safe corridor like the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor. Raghav Chadha said that this matter is related to the faith of crores of Punjabis. He said that the land of Punjab is sacred by the grace of Gurus and Pirs. The Rajya Sabha member said that during the partition of 1947, not only the country but also Punjab was divided into two parts. He said, “During the partition of the country, the blood of lakhs of Punjabi families including my family was shed. Many friends and relatives have separated from us, but the biggest tragedy is that our Gurudwara Sahib has also separated from us. He placed three demands before the central government. First of all, just as arrangements have been made for the devotees to have darshan and obeisance by making Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, the same should be done for Sri Nankana Sahib Corridor. The governments of India and Pakistan should jointly build a corridor.
Secondly, there should be no visa, passport, fee or any other complicated process for darshan of Sri Nankana Sahib. Third, Sri Nankana Sahib is 104 km from the Wagah-Attari border of Amritsar. This distance can be easily covered in two and a half hours by car or bus.
