Pakistan removes 5 Pro-Khalistani leaders from Kartarpur corridor panel

A day before the crucial second round of technical-level talks for the Kartarpur corridor between India and Pakistan, Islamabad removed five Pro-Khalistani leaders, including Gopal Singh Chawla, from Kartarpur corridor panel.

Gopal Singh Chawla, who is known to be a close aide of Jamaat ud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, has been using the Gurudwaras in Pakistan to propagate anti-India sentiments.

India had been raising concerns and objections regarding the inclusion of anti-India elements in a committee that is critical to the operationalisation of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor.
