Khan said that India, unlike Pakistan, was taking steps against minorities. “Be it Indian Occupied Kashmir, be it the Babri Masjid or the Sikh community, India is taking steps against minorities every day,” he further said. He said that the Indian government should open the gate of the Kartarpur corridor for Sikhs and allow its citizens to come to Kartarpur.
