Two years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered “surgical strikes” in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan retaliated by not cutting the tall sarkanda, or elephant grass, in Narowal district, thereby hiding from view Kartarpur Sahib, India’ neighbour is pulling out the stops and laying out the red carpet.

Imran Khan led the ground-breaking ceremonies for the corridor. This is the biggest event-cum-achievement of his 100-day-old government so far.

All foreign ambassadors accredited to Pakistan have been invited. Two ministers from India, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Hardeep Singh Puri and Akali Dal’s Harsimrat Kaur Badal, will attend, as will several Indian journalists who have unusually been given visas to cover the event.

Lahore’s 12th century fort was beautifully lit up and bedecked with flowers Tuesday evening as Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu led the gathering in an invocation of heartfelt gratitude for Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan for helping open up the Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara, one of the holiest shrines of the Sikh community that has so far remained out of bounds.

There have been some concerns regarding the opening of the Kartarpur corridor, like cross-border terrorism and the possible rise of Khalistani movement. In #QuestionsAbout Associate Editor, Chitleen Sethi, answers all the questions.
