Jalandhar Nov.23 (Dhawan)
Begum Riffat Javald Kahlon member National Assembly
Pakistan has proposed permanent opening of control
line in Kashmir to Govt of India. Accompanied by her
husband Colonel Javed Safdar Kahlon Begum Riffat is on
a private tour to India on the invitation of Jathedar
Kuldip Singh Wadala. Speaking to the mediamen she said
though India has responded to the Pakistan peace offer
but Kashmir becomes a stumbling bloc.
She said opening of control line for relief supplies
to the quake victims is a positive gesture but there
is a need that it should be permanently opened so that
the Kashmiris get relief.
Begum Kahlon informed that permanent committee on
minorities of the National Assembly Pakistan has
recommended an open corridor to gurdwara Kartarpur
sahib for the pilgrims. We have also made
recommendations on the visa relaxation to Hindu
pilgrims of Katasraj. The Govt is yet to decide on our
recommendations, she said.
She said Wahga border will be opened within a year for
trade. She said relations between India and Pakistan
have improved yet in the peace process India raises
obstacles from time to time. She said in the whole
world countries are coming closure to each other and
in this changed scenario India and Pakistan should
resolve Kashmir issue.
On this occasion Jathedar Wadala demanded that keeping
in view the goodwill gestures Govt of India should
attempt to see that Corridor to Kartarpur sahib is granted.
