J-K: Unidentified gunmen open fire at sweet shop in Miran Sahib area
Unidentified gunmen opened fire at a sweet shop in the Miran Sahib area of Jammu and Kashmir.
India on Wednesday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for using the ‘pious occasion’ of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor foundation-stone laying ceremony to raise the Jammu-Kashmir issue.
“It is deeply regrettable that the Prime Minister of Pakistan chose to politicise the pious occasion meant to realise the long pending demand of the Sikh community to develop a Kartarpur corridor by making unwarranted reference to Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral and inalienable part of India,’’ External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in response to queries.
He reminded Pakistan that it must fulfil its international obligations and take effective and credible action to stop providing shelter and every kind of support to cross- border terrorism from territories under its control.

In his speech at the Kartarpur Corridor ceremony in Pakistan attended by Indian ministers Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Hardeep Singh Puri and Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Pakistani Premier said the only issue between the two countries was Kashmir. “All it needs is just two capable leaderships to resolve this issue,” he added.
National Conference leader and former Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, too, took note of the Kashmir angle.
“#Kashmir finds a mention at the ground breaking of the #KartarpuraCorridor. “The only issue between us is Kashmir”. Makes it sound so simple,” he tweeted.
