Former Indian cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu along with a 35-member delegation reached Darbar Baba Guru Nanak Kartarpur, Pakistan on Wednesday.

Sidhu and his delegation were received by Kartarpur Deputy Secretary Saifullah Khokhar at the border terminal.

During his visit, Navjot Singh Sidhu bowed his head at the Durbar of Baba Guru Nanak and attended prayers.

The delegation also had delicacies in the Langar Hall.

The delegation appreciated the Pakistani hospitality and initiatives and thanked the Government of Pakistan.

Navjot Singh Sidhu along with the delegation will return to India today.

During his visit to Kartarpur, Sidhu said issues should be resolved on the table through negotiations as war is no solution to any problem.

He said innocent Palestinians’ genocide at the hands of Israeli forces should immediately be stopped.

Responding to a question, he said the Pakistanis’ hospitality could not be described in words as the Sikh community always enjoyed utmost respect and homage.

Former cricketer turned commentator said that the objectives of the Kartarpur Corridor were yet to be achieved, keeping in view the trade potential between the two countries.

He added if more corridors were set up, the trade volume between the two countries could be enhanced to the tune of $37 billion which was standing at a mere $2 billion.

“There should be peace, love and trade as people of both sides have many things in common including language, food, dress, culture and caste,” he concluded.
