Punjab CM Amrinder hits out at PakArmy Chief, citing attacks in Punjab

Gurdaspur: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh Monday said on Mondau that Punjab will not tolerate any “conspiracies” by the neighbouring country and advised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to “control the Army and ISI” and “stop the attacks on Indian soil”.
“It is my duty to maintain peace in Punjab. But there are people like Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa who want to create disturbances. I will not allow such conspiracies. Bajwa should wake up,” Amarinder, who was speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Gurdaspur, said.
The corridor will link India’s border district of Gurdaspur with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. To mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev next year, India last week announced building the Kartarpur road corridor up to the international border between India and Pakistan to let Sikh pilgrims visit the gurdwara on the banks of the river Ravi in Pakistan. The two neighbouring countries on November 15 had made an official announcement in this regard and had decided to let the pilgrims visit the holy shrine without having to secure a visa.
Shifting focus on the Pakistani government, Amarinder warned that “there is a limit to tolerance” and that India has a “bigger army than Pakistan”. “Only the Army runs in the government in Pakistan. The Pakistan PM must control the Army and ISI. We have a bigger Army than Pakistan. There is a limit of tolerance,” he said.
The CM also maintained that he will not visit Pakistan till the neighbouring country put a stop on terror activities. “Stop the attacks on Indian soil. This is why I am not visiting Pakistan for their ground-breaking ceremony despite an invitation from them. As a Sikh, I want to attend the ceremony but am also the CM of Punjab. People are telling me on Facebook to go to Pakistan. But I cannot go until there is peace,” he said.
