The Hindu reports that India did not raise the issue of Pakistan supporting the Khalistani movement during the March 14 delegation-level talks to discuss the modalities of the Kartarpur Corridor. An official stated that ‘We did not want to give Pakistan an opportunity to deviate from discussing the modalities of the corridor, which is a priority for us. Had we brought in other issues, they would have transgressed, defeating the purpose’. The government’s stand comes amid concerns of secessionist groups, including Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a U.S.-Canada based group, planning to organise a convention on ‘Khalistan-Referendum 2020’ at the Kartarpur shrine. Indian security agencies had raised concerns about Pakistan using the corridor to push the Khalistani agenda. However, official said that while the possibility of Pakistani agencies trying to radicalise Sikh youth existed, India would have to trust its citizens.

India on March 29 postponed the second round of corridor talks with Islamabad scheduled for April 2, reports Indian Express. This happened hours after India summoned Pakistan’s Deputy High Commissioner Syed Haider Shah and conveyed its concern over the presence of pro-Khalistan elements in a committee set up by Pakistan on the Kartarpur Corridor. The move came a day after Pakistan, responding to India’s dossier on Jaish-e-Mohammad’s involvement in the Pulwama terror attack on February 14, claimed it had examined the 22 “pin locations” shared by India but found no terror camp. Pakistan’s Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had announced Gopal Singh Chawla’s inclusion, along with at least three other pro-Khalistan elements, Tara Singh, Bishon Singh and Kuljeet Singh. According to unidentified sources, these developments have raised fresh concerns in India about the safety and security of pilgrims from India and misuse of the corridor for anti-India activities. India has made amply clear in the meeting and draft agreement that Kartarpur Sahib Corridor shall not be misused for any anti-India propaganda and activities. India has been strongly emphasising the need for fool-proof security of pilgrims on Pakistan soil and demanding commitment from Pakistan to insulate them from any anti-India propaganda or activity during their visit to Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib’. Sources said the induction of Gopal Singh Chawla who played a key role in raising pro-Khalistan slogans and putting up posters on a Sikh referendum in November 2018 during the visit of Indian pilgrims had upset India.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood has asked the United States to play its due role in resumption of dialogue between Pakistan and India, Daily Times reported on April 3. The demand was made during a telephonic conversation between Qureshi and his United States (US)counterpart Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said a statement issued by the Foreign Office on April 2. Relations between the nuclear-armed rivals are tense since the attack in occupied Kashmir which killed over 40 Indian paramilitaries.The Foreign Minister briefed Pompeo on the de-escalatory measures taken by Pakistan, including the handing over of captured Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman. Both the leaders exchanged views on the current situation in the region, as well as discussed bilateral issues.Qureshi said bilateral relations between Pakistan and the US carried special significance for peace and stability in the region. The US role for de-escalation in the region was laudable, he added.

India and Pakistan on April 16 reported progress in the talks on construction of infrastructure facilities for Indian Sikh pilgrims looking to visit Kartarpur Pakistan, reports Live Mint. The meeting was held in Gurdaspur (Gurdaspur District) in Indian state of Punjab. The Kartarpur Corridor is expected to open in time to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, in November. Pakistan had named controversial Khalistan supporters as part of a committee that would look into the facilities to be provided for Indian pilgrims. The Pakistani committee included Khalistan supporter Gopal Singh Chawla, who is also associated with Hafiz Saeed, the chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). India has stated that it would continue the technical talks on infrastructure but not official level talks on the movement of pilgrims.

In these meetings, they discussed the “border challenges”.“We have cooperated with each other, some steps have been taken. We are increasing some of our Frontier Corps regiments, we are building a headquarters in Turbat so that there is a rapid response, our helicopter surveillance near the border has increased, and we have agreed on the formation of a joint border centre and border fencing,” he said.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on May 22 took up terror strikes at Pulwama and Sri Lanka and urged member nations of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) for greater counter-terror cooperation, reports The Hindu. Addressing the ministerial meet of SCO at Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, the External Affairs Minister said that India remains committed to regional connectivity and peace in Afghanistan. “Our heart goes out to our brothers and sisters of Sri Lanka, who have recently witnessed the ghastly act of terrorism. Our wounds of Pulwama attack were still raw and the news from the neighborhood has made us more determined to fight firmly [and] resolutely against this menace,” said Ms. Swaraj addressing a gathering which included her Pakistan counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi.

After weeks of an impasse on the Kartarpur corridor, the Government of India has written to Pakistan, proposing the next round of talks to be held from July 11 to 14 on the Pakistani side of the Attari-Wagah border, reports The Hindu on June 30. “The meeting would discuss the draft agreement on the modalities for movement of pilgrims along the Kartarpur corridor and resolve outstanding technical issues related to alignment and infrastructure along the corridor,” an official source said. The government’s decision to propose the fourth round of talks came a week after the External Affairs Ministry said Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote to his Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan. Mr. Modi wrote that India was keen on seeing the corridor completed in time for the 550th birth anniversary of Sikh founder Guru Nanak in November. “We will continue to work for early operationalisation of the Kartarpur Corridor and keeping it functional all year round,” Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said on June 20. However, talks had been put off as India had sought “clarifications” on several issues including whether to build a bridge or a causeway over the Ravi, proposed caps on pilgrim numbers, and the presence of Khalistani separatists in key posts of the gurdwara committee in Pakistan. Asked if the new Indian proposal for dates meant that the issues had now been resolved, a source said that the move “shows India’s commitment to the corridor”. India has also asked Pakistan to increase the number of pilgrims under the 1974 bilateral Protocol who visit annually various religious shrines in Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti, to 10,000 this year,” the source said. This will be the second round of meeting between senior officials to finalize the modalities after the two sides agreed last year to open the religious corridor, adds The Times of India. The first round earlier this year saw the Pakistani side visiting the Indian side of the border. Apart from that meeting, the two countries have also held three rounds of technical-level at the level of experts to try and finalise the alignment, crossing point and infrastructure along the corridor. Following the decision taken by the Cabinet on 22 November 2018, India is expeditiously building the requisite infrastructure, including a 4- lane highway and a state of art passenger terminal for the corridor, sources here said. More than 45 per cent of work on the Indian side is said to have been completed. "The target is to complete the road by end September 2019 and the passenger/ pilgrim terminal by end October 2019, in time to operationalize the Kartarpur corridor on the occasion of the 550th birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev falling in November 2019," said a source requesting anonymity. India though believes that Pakistan has not been flexible in dealing with issues like the number of pilgrims who would be allowed to visit the Gurudwara every day. While India has proposed that 5,000 pilgrims visit the shrine daily, and 15,000 on special days, Pakistan doesn't want more than 500-700 per day. India has asked Pakistan to increase the number of pilgrims, under the 1974 bilateral Protocol, who visit annually to various religious shrines in Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti, to 10000 this year on his occasion of 550th anniversary. "In addition to the above, India has also asked Pakistan to permit and facilitate Nagar Kirtan to be organized by SGPC and Delhi Sikh GurudwaraPrabandhak Committee (DSGPC) at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib in July 2019 and then in October / November 2019 to mark the year-long celebrations of 550th Anniversary of Guru Nanak Devji," said a source. India has also urged Islamabad to not promote secessionist activities while carrying out work on the corridor meant to facilitate pilgrimage to the Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara in Pakistan.
