Bilateral dialogue will not start because of Kartarpur opening: Sushma Swaraj
As Indian delegates attended the Kartarpur corridor groundbreaking ceremony in Narowal on Wednesday, Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj announced that India will not attend the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) conference if it is held in Pakistan.
She brushed off any possibility of improvement in relations between India and Pakistan, despite the opening of the Kartarpur crossing. "Until and unless Pakistan stops terrorist activities in India, there will be no dialogue and we will not participate in Saarc [conference]," asserted Swaraj.
Owing to India's refusal to attend, Pakistan will not be able to convene the event for the third year now. Participation of all member states is mandatory for the convening of a Saarc summit.
Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa had hinted at opening the Kartarpur border on the occasion of Baba Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary next year for Sikh pilgrims when he met cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu during the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Khan in August.
However, while talking to journalists in Indian Hyderabad, Swaraj claimed that India had been "asking for the [opening] of the Kartarpur corridor" for the past 20 years.
"For the first time, Pakistan has responded positively to this," she added.
The proposal for the corridor has been on the table since 1988 — when Pakistan and India agreed in principle to construct a corridor from Dera Baba Nanak in India to Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan — but tense relations between the two countries prevented progress on the plan.
The opening of the Kartarpur crossing will enable Sikh pilgrims to visit the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, located in Kartarpur, Narowal district without a visa. The corridor will connect Dera Baba Nanak in Indian Punjab's Gurdaspur to Kartarpur in Pakistan's Narowal district where the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib — the shrine of revered saint Baba Guru Nanak — is situated.

If she could have backed her claim that india has been asking for this opening for the past 20y...Time has come to a point where India is running out of excuses and their plan to destabilize pakistan is wide open...you can run but you cant hide from the truth in the age of digital media and record verification via online news...

Pakistan is rising and that is what Indians cannot digest. Indians have been demoralizing Pakistan for the last 30 years to gain political motives and always beg US congress to impose sanctions on Pakistan, while the world has closed its eyes over atrocities in Kashmir. Pakistan army has successfully wiped out terrorists and defeated India agenda to destabilize Pakistan. Shame on India. A big shame............. Sushma Swaraj should be called Minister of EXTREMISTS affairs.

If India don't want to normalize the relations, then they are the losers......Pakistan doesn't need to beg them. World has changed in recent years, but India still stuck in the past.

BJP would do everything it can to isolate Pakistan. They don't want Pakistan to progress or benefit in any way possible. That's why they don't play a bi-series with Pakistan (but happily play against us in ICC tournaments). Well done Imran Khan and co, your clear message is clear enough to the world who wants peace and who wants to keep fighting!
