Sultanpur Lodhi, November 30

The Center should open up the Indian side of the Kartarpur corridor, Captain Amarinder Singh of the Punjab CM said today. He was speaking on the sidelines of the 551st Parkash Purb celebrations here. “I don’t know why the Center doesn’t open the Kartarpur corridor. I can’t say if it has something to do with Covid. However, now that everything has been reopened and Pakistan has opened its side of the corridor, India should do the same, ”he stressed.

Says the boss sitting on Farm Bills, he doesn’t have to

On Prime Minister Narendra Modi who continued to insist that the last three agricultural laws would benefit farmers, the captain said: “The prime minister has held this position from the beginning. That is why we passed bills in the Assembly to subvert the central laws. But the governor is sitting on these bills. You don’t have to. The Bills lie to Raj Bhavan, while their job is to send them to the president. “

Regarding the confrontation between the Center and the farmers, he replied: “I would like it to end. Farmers across the country, including Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttarakhand, are campaigning. Why doesn’t the government listen to them? “When asked if his Haryana counterpart ML Khattar had detained the farmers at the behest of the Center, he said: ‘I don’t know what Khattar is doing. He talks nonsense and makes unnecessary statements.’

Captain Amarinder Singh, who was accompanied by his wife Preneet Kaur, Punjab Pradesh Congressional Committee Chairman Sunil Jakhar and Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu, paid tribute at Gurdwara Ber Sahib in Sultanpur Lodhi.

Later, the CM visited a government school where it laid the foundation stone to complete six projects at a cost of Rs 40.75 million.
