Foreign Minister Qureshi on Sunday afternoon took to Twitter saying, "Dragging my comment towards "Sikh sentiments" is a deliberate attempt to misrepresent & mislead. What I said was strictly with ref to bilat.interaction with the Indian Govt. We have deep respect for Sikh sentiments & no amount of distortions or controversies would change it."
"In deference to the long-standing desires of our Sikh brethren, we have decided to open Kartarpur corridor. We have taken this historic initiative in good faith and will carry it forward in good faith," he added to his tweet thread.

Today, Union Minister for Food Processing Harsimrat Kaur Badalon urged the Pakistani government to take action against the country's Foreign Minister for his remarks at the Kartarpur corridor last month, thereby disrespecting the sentiments of the Sikh community. (ANI)
