Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh made it clear that he will not be going to Pakistan for the opening of Kartarpur corridor. The senior Congress Leader said this on Thursday. Amarinder Singh also indicated that former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh will also not attend the event.

“There is no question of me going to Pakistan for the opening of Kartarpur corridor and I feel Dr Manmohan Singh will not go as well,” Captain Amarinder said.

Earlier today, Captain Amarinder invited the former Prime Minister to attend the main event at Sultanpur Lodhi to mark Guru Nanak Dev’s 550th Prakash Purab next month.
