NEW DELHI (Dunya News) – Former Indian cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday while applauding his government’s decision to open Kartarpur corridor on Pakistan’s proposal, thanked Prime Minister Imran Khan for the positive step.
In his twitter message, the Indian cricketer-turned-politician said, “Thank you @ImranKhanPTI Bhai, we welcome the positive step, it means the world to us. You’re a gem! This is a great service to mankind. Kudos to you!”
In his second tweet, he said: “We don t fight elections for the next election, we fight them for the next generation! Generations will remember those who have taken these positive steps, their names will be written in golden letters in history.”
Earlier, in a series of tweets, Sidhu, who has been pitching for opening of a corridor for Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan, welcomed the Indian government’s decision to develop passage from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur to the shrine in the neighbouring country.
“I welcome this auspicious step by the Union Cabinet, it will be a cup of joy for 12 crore Nanak Naam Laivas . It will build bridges, burn animosity and will act like a soothing balm for two neighbouring countries,” Sidhu said in a tweet.
“I thank the Govt of India from the core of my heart and take a bow! I request the Hon ble PM of Pakistan @ImranKhanPTI Sahib to take reciprocal steps for opening the Kartarpur Sahib corridor and spread Baba Nanak s message of universal brotherhood and peace across the Globe,” Sidhu said in another tweet.
