In an unprecedented move, Akali Dal leader and Union Food Processing Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Sunday urged Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to take action against his Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi for “hurting sentiments of Sikhs” and using the word ‘googly’ vis-a-vis developments related to Kartarpur Corridor.
“….Please walk the talk and take action against Mahmood Qureshi for politicising religious issue to assuage hurt feelings of Sikhs,” Ms Badal tweeted.
Mounting pressure on the Pakistani leadership, Ms Badal, who had visited Kartarpur on November 28, wrote in a series of tweets: “I urge Pak PM Imran Khan to take action against his minister for hurting sentiments of Sikhs and peace efforts by equating attendance at function at Sri Kartarpur Sahib with trapping India by bowling a googly”. “Nothing can be more disgusting than this,” she said.
