Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the Kartarpur corridor, thanking Pakistan premier Imran Khan for respecting Indian sentiments towards the shrine across the border that marks the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev.
"I thank Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi, he told a gathering about eight kilometres from the Dera Baba Nanak gurdwara, where he later flagged off the first batch of pilgrims to the shrine.
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh was part of the first jatha of over 400 pilgrims.
Thanking Imran Khan at the meeting at a BSF camp in Shikhaar Masiahan, Modi said, He understood India's feelings on the Kartarpur corridor issue gave them respect and worked accordingly."
