Director General of Punjab Police (DGP), Dinkar Gupta, on February 21, stated that the Kartarpur Corridor is a potential threat to India’s security, reports Indian Express. Gupta said that the visa-free passage cleared for Sikh pilgrims “offers a potential that you send somebody to Kartarpur in the morning as an ordinary chap and by evening he comes back as trained terrorist actually. You are there for six hours, you can be taken to a firing range, you can be taught to make an IED (Improvised Explosive Device)”. DGP’s views echoed similar sentiments expressed by Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who in the past had maintained that while he was extremely happy, as a Sikh, at the opening of the Corridor, the threat it posed to India could not be ignored.
