Fantastic to see Kartarpur corridor’s opening: Asad Umar

ISLAMABAD: Former finance minister Asad Umar has expressed that it was fantastic to see the opening of the Kartarpur corridor.

In a series of tweets, Asad Umar posted, “Fantastic to see the opening of the Kartarpur corridor. Facilitating Sikh yatrees to visit one of their holiest sites is exactly the kind of tolerance advocated by Islamic teachings, the vision of Quaid-e-Azam and the constitution of Pakistan. #PakistanOpensKartarpur”

In another tweet, Asad expressed his grief over the Indian Supreme Court’s verdict over Babri Mosque.

Ayodha verdict shows that extremist views which dominated politics in India, are now becoming pervasive in the state institutions of India also. As extremist, xenophobic thought takes control of Indian state & society, nuclear India emerges as biggest threat to global peace
