India postpones talks with Pakistan over presence of Khalistani sympathiser on Kartarpur panel

The Ministry of External Affairs, it is learnt, have conveyed to their counterpart that the next meeting on modalities would be scheduled only after they receive a response from the neighbouring country over the indicated concerns.

India had earlier cleared its stand on Kartarpur Corridor not being used for anti-India activities including secessionist activities or propaganda, adding it is only a passage for pilgrims to travel safe and in a secure manner.

India on Friday postponed its second round of talks with Pakistan scheduled for April 2 to resolve outstanding issues concerning the infrastructure development of the Kartarpur Corridor. Earlier in the day, New Delhi had summoned the neighbouring country’s envoy and expressed concerns over the inclusion of controversial Khalistani sympathiser Gopal Singh Chawla in the corridor panel.
