Addressing a poll rally in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan ahead of the December 7 assembly elections he said that the Kartarpur Corridor is in Pakistan today because of the lack of vision and sensitivity of Congress leaders.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the proposed Kartarpur Corridor linking Pakistan to India as a weapon to hit out the Congress party and said that party will have to answer why this was not done 70 years ago.
Addressing a poll rally in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan ahead of the December 7 assembly elections he said that the Kartarpur Corridor is in Pakistan today because of the lack of vision and sensitivity of Congress leaders.
"When India attained Independence in 1947, some people were in such hurry to ascend the throne that they ignored the country’s partition. It is because of Congress’ mistakes that Kartarpur Sahib is in Pakistan today"; PM Modi said.
"Why didn’t Congress realise in 1947 that Kartarpur Sahib should be in India? The credit for the Kartarpur Corridor doesn’t go to Modi, it goes to your vote", he added.
The foundation stone for the much-awaited corridor linking Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan's Kartarpur - the final resting place of Sikh faith's founder Guru Nanak Dev - to Dera Baba Nanak shrine in India's Gurdaspur district was laid last week.
