EFSAS comments on Pakistani Minister's bluster in regard to Kartarpur corridor
December 6, 2019
There was a remarkable lack of sensitivity and an obtuse uncouthness that was on clear display when Rasheed made the statement. He demeaned what was being viewed as a laudable step by Pakistan, and irresponsibly inducted security and politics into what was essentially an issue of religious faith for millions of Sikhs. Rasheed also totally belied Pakistan’s earlier claim that Prime Minister Imran Khan had decided to open the corridor as a good faith initiative with India. Neither Imran Khan nor the Army Chief have so far condemned or contradicted Rasheed’s statement, or indeed rebuked him.
