COAS terms opening of Kartarpur corridor a step towards peace
Barbed wire at borders is a measure by a sovereign state to check and deny illegal crossings
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Geeral Qamar Javed Bajwa on Wednesday declared the opening of Kartarpur corridor an important step forward towards peace.
In a twitter message, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor said that the COAS attended Kartarpura Corridor ceremony and termed it a step towards peace which our region needs.
The ISPR DG quoted Gen Qamar Bajwa as saying: “Barbed wire at borders is measure by a sovereign state to check/deny illegal crossings. Corridors & Gates are for legal peaceful visitors. So is the case for all our neighbors.”
Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said that Indian media is taking a myopic view by selectively showing Gopal Chawla meeting with General Bajwa.
He said the Army Chief met all guests at the venue irrespective of identity.
“Peace initiative should not be subjected to propaganda,” he added.
