Canada-based Sikh leader Sadhu Bhoopinder Singh, president of the World Interfaith Harmony Council, said the chief minister of Indian Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, should come to Pakistan. He said both countries should keep religious matters separate from political conflict. He called for removing obstacles to the movement of Sikh pilgrims. He also described Indian Prime Minister Modi's decision to keep the Kartarpur corridor closed as regrettable.
