Capt for peace with Pak, warns against SFJ plot

Chandigarh
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh today advocated peace with Pakistan to ensure progress, but made it clear India would not allow ISI-backed forces such as the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) to disturb nation’s stability.

He said this while addressing the diaspora on the occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in London.

In an informal chat with mediapersons, Captain Amarinder said the SFJ was a hardcore terrorist group with no ideological basis. He said its sole motive was to promote ISI agenda of dividing Sikhs and India. Referring to the terror modules busted in Punjab over the past few years, he said both Centre and state were dealing with the threat with an iron hand.
Addressing the diaspora, the CM called for cordial relations with neighbours to promote peace, in line with Guru’s teachings. “Both countries have been through a lot, and it is time to let go of the past and move forward in the spirit of friendship to ensure progress,” he said.

Calling the Kartarpur corridor a beginning of better relations between the two countries, Captain Amarinder hoped it would set the stage for opening of other important religious shrines in Pakistan to Indians. He thanked PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan premier Imran Khan for the historic initiative.
