'India should take up issue of visa-free corridor with Pakistan'

The Centre should discuss the issue of a visa-free corridor from the border town of Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan with the neighbouring country's new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, SAD leader Kuldeep Singh Wadala said today.

"Central government should seriously think about solving the issue of a free corridor from Dera Baba Nanak to Sri Kartarpur Sahib as the sentiments of crores of devotees are involved in this," Wadala said at a press conference here.

The matter should be taken up on priority basis, he also said on their long-pending demanding of a visa-free passage to the shrine.
