    The Kartarpur Corridor is a 4.7 km long visa-free corridor that connects Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in India to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The corridor was inaugurated in 2019 to celebrate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

  • “Disturbed to see opposition parties together…”: CM Nitish’s counterattack on Amit Shah’s statement

    CM Nitish gave this answer to Amit Shah’s statements

    Patna: Home Minister Amit Shah, who reached Jhanjharpur Lok Sabha constituency of Bihar, has fiercely attacked Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Yadav. He said that the selfish alliance will again take Bihar towards Jungle Raj. Now CM Nitish Kumar has also reacted to Amit Shah’s statement while talking to the media in Patna.

    Taking a jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CM Nitish said, “We do not pay attention to anything they say. These people come to Bihar and keep talking nonsense. They do not know anything about Bihar. These people do not know how much development has taken place in Bihar. These people are upset after seeing the opposition alliance together.”

  • MP Election 2023: Have BJP people taken the agency of religion? Kamal Nath’s statement regarding Sanatan Dharma issue

    MP Election 2023: The statement of former Madhya Pradesh Congress CM Kamal Nath has come to light on the controversial statement given by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son and Youth Welfare Minister of this state Udhayanidhi Stalin regarding Sanatan Dharma. While talking to the media, he said that India is a country of Sanatan Dharma… We need to understand what Sanatan Dharma is… BJP is trying to divert people’s attention. He said, do you remember that there was nationalism and surgical strikes in the 2019 elections… as if BJP people have taken the agency of religion… People should understand that BJP wants to divert from the main issue in the coming three months. .

    Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath said that India is home to many religions and Sanatan Dharma does not teach anyone to keep other religions away. Let us discuss here that the above statement of Kamal Nath has come after Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition alliance Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (India) of trying to ‘destroy’ Sanatan Dharma. Last Thursday, in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the Prime Minister had alleged that the newly formed front of opposition parties of BJP wants to destroy India along with its rich culture of thousands of years.

    Our country is a country of Sanatan Dharma: Kamal Nath

    Talking to the media, Congress leader Kamal Nath said that we all have accepted Sanatan Dharma. There is no need to tell anyone about this. There is no point in explaining to anyone that our country is a country of Sanatan Dharma because there are other religions also. Sanatan Dharma never teaches anyone to keep other religions away. If you remember, a few days ago Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin created a controversy when he compared Sanatan Dharma with diseases like malaria and dengue and called for its “eradication”. Stalin’s party DMK is included in the opposition alliance ‘India’.

    Kailash Vijayvargiya responded

    Earlier, BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya criticized the controversial statement given by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son and Youth Welfare Minister of this state Udhayanidhi Stalin regarding Sanatan Dharma. He said that the leaders who make such statements are suffering from mental illness. Sanatan Dharma, which gives the message of peace and humanity to the world, will always remain.

    What did Union Minister Purushottam Rupala say

    Union Minister Purushottam Rupala recently attacked the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) over the controversial statements made by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leaders regarding Sanatan Dharma. Rupala said that this alliance of opposition parties will have to decide whether it will contest next year’s Lok Sabha elections with those who are against Sanatan Dharma? Minister Rupala said these things to the media while participating in the function organized in Indore on the third anniversary of Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana.

    Let us tell you that assembly elections are going to be held in Madhya Pradesh this year. Before this, politics has intensified regarding the Sanatan Dharma issue. BJP leaders are continuously targeting the opposition alliance. The opposition alliance also seems to be presenting its stand on the matter and is putting BJP in the dock.
