RAWALPINDI – Pakistan Sikh Community chairman Gopal Chawla was taken totask by the Indian media when he met Pakistan army chief at the publicceremony of Kartarpur Border Corridor on Wednesday. The India media hurledseveral accusations on the Sikh leader.

In a befitting response to false reporting from Indian TV channels, themilitary’s public affairs wing, ISPR, clarified that Gen Qamar JavedBajwa met all guests at the groundbreaking ceremony of Kartarpur corridor,while hitting out at what it said Indian media’s myopic view of the event.

“Indian media taking a myopic view is selectively showing Mr. Gopal Chawlameeting COAS. Army Chief met all guests at the venue irrespective ofidentity. A peace initiative should not be subjected to propaganda,” themilitary’s media wing said.

In another tweet, the ISPR said COAS attended the Kartarpura Corridorceremony and quoted him as saying: “It’s a step towards peace which ourregion needs. Barbed wire at borders is measure by a sovereign state tocheck / deny illegal crossings. Corridors & Gates are for legal peacefulvisitors. So is the case for all our neighbors.”
