NEW DELHI (92 News) – Former Indian cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday thanked Prime Minister Imran Khan for the positive step, Pakistan’s proposal to open Kartarpur corridor. The Indian cricketer-turned-politician took a twitter and said, “Thank you @ImranKhanPTI Bhai, we welcome the positive step, it means the world to us. You’re a gem! This is a great service to mankind. Kudos to you!”   In his second tweet, Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “We don t fight elections for the next election, we fight them for the next generation! Generations will remember those who have taken these positive steps, their names will be written in golden letters in history.”   Earlier, in a series of tweets, Sidhu, who has been pitching for opening of a corridor for Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan, welcomed the Indian government’s decision to develop passage from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur to the shrine in the neighbouring country. He applauded his government’s decision to open Kartarpur corridor on Pakistan’s proposal.   “I welcome this auspicious step by the Union Cabinet, it will be a cup of joy for 12 crore  Nanak Naam Laivas . It will build bridges, burn animosity and will act like a soothing balm for two neighbouring countries,” Sidhu said in a tweet.   In another tweet, he said, “I humbly request the Government of India to dispense their duty towards 12 Crore ‘Nanak Naam Laivas’ world over, by writing to the Pakistan Government. I hope the draft for the letter is ready as promised by Hon’ble EAM Sushma Ji.”
