Habib appreciated the initiative of Kartarpur, saying: “The corridor has become a source of their reunion and it will continue to help reunite other separated families”.
In 2019, Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated the Kartarpur Corridor; a border corridor between Pakistan and India, connecting the Sikh shrines of Dera Baba Nanak Sahib and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan.
Indian pilgrims are allowed visa-free travel to the Gurudwara, the resting place of Guru Nanak – the founder of Sikhism.
