DERA BABA NANAK (GURDASPUR): Before he left for Kartarpur on Saturday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh warned Pakistan against interfering in Kashmir and to stop “eyeing” Punjab, and said it won’t succeed in its “nefarious designs”.
Singh also said he hoped Pakistan would understand that India wants friendly relations with it.
The Punjab Chief Minister was part of the first batch of over 550 Indian pilgrims that entered Pakistan through the Kartarpur corridor, which was thrown open days ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev on November 12.
Singh said he had repeatedly asked Pakistan to desist from its “nefarious” activities.
“In Kashmir, they are taking up cudgels against our forces and now they have an eye on Punjab. I have told them many times to desist from such things, Punjabis will not tolerate such things. You will not succeed in your nefarious designs either in Kashmir or in Punjab.
“Punjabis are brave, we are not wearing bangles that you can do whatever and try to foment trouble,” the Punjab Chief Minister said. (AGENCIES)
