CHANDIGARH (The Thursday Times) — Bharati Punjab ke Wazir-e-Aala Bhagwant Mann ne kaha hai ke woh agle maheene Lahore mein hone wali International Punjabi Conference mein shirkat karna chahte hain, lekin unhein shak hai ke Bharatiya Janata Party ki qayadat wali Bharat ki hukumat unhein is safar ki ijazat degi.
Juma ko Bharati Punjab assembly se khitab karte hue Mann ne kaha ke unhon ne Pakistani Punjabi shayar Baba Najmi se baat ki hai aur conference ke muntazimeen ki taraf se unhein dawat di gayi hai. Chauthi International Punjabi Conference, jise World Punjabi Conference bhi kaha jata hai, 27 se 29 November tak Lahore mein manaqid hone wali hai.
“Hamari jarein aik hain, hamare masail bhi milte julte hain,” Mann ne kaha, aur izafa kiya ke sarhad ke donon taraf ke log aik saqafat ke hamil hain aur unhein milne ka mauqa milna chahiye.
“Woh mujhe Pakistan kaise jane denge?”
Mann ne kaha ke unhein ummeed nahin ke New Delhi is daure ki ijazat degi. “Woh toh mujhe France ya Japan tak nahin jane dete. Pakistan kaise jane denge?” unhon ne kaha.
Assembly ke Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan ne jawab diya: “Agar aap ko ijazat mil jaye toh hamein bhi saath le jayein.” Kai doosre arkan ne speaker ki baat ki taeed ki.
Kartarpur dobara kholne ka mutalba
Mann ne Kartarpur corridor dobara kholne ka bhi mutalba kiya. Visa ke baghair safar ki sahulat dene wala yeh rasta Bharati Punjab ko Narowal mein Kartarpur ke Gurdwara Darbar Sahib se jodta hai, jahan Guru Nanak ne apni zindagi ke aakhri baras guzare, aur yeh Sikhon ke liye sabse muqaddas maqamat mein se aik hai. Bharat ne pichhle saal corridor ka apni taraf ka hissa band kar diya tha.
BBC ki report ke mutabiq, dono mulkon ke social media istemal karne walon ne taalluqat mein sardmehri ke bawajood Mann ki khwahish ka istaqbal kiya. Pichhle saal May mein hone wali chaar roza jang ke baad se Pakistan aur Bharat ke taalluqat kasheeda hain, aur tijarat aur safarati rabte shiddat se mehdood hain.∎
