Centre in haste to beat Pak: Congress on Kartarpur event in India

A cabinet minister in the Punjab government has stirred a row after claiming that Centre was rushing in with the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor to pre-empt the ground-breaking ceremony in Pakistan on November 28. Calling it a step taken in hurry, Punjab minister Tript Rajinder Singh claimed the National Highways Authority of India, which is to develop the corridor is unaware about the layout. The foundation stone will be laid on the Indian side by Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
