Cornered on the issue of the abrogation of Article 370, Pakistan is now trying to incite the Sikh community living in Pakistan and elsewhere.

A Pakistan-based Sikh leader was heard claiming in a viral video that they have got a mandate from Akal Takht, the highest Sikh temporal authority in India, to support Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.

Though no such resolution has been passed by the Akal Takht, such provocative statements are being issued to radicalise, confuse and deviate the Sikh community.

In an attempt to woo the Sikh community, Pakistan's Punjab province chief minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has called an international congregation of Sikhs on August 31.

This congregation is being linked to the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev but the motive behind it is to perpetuate and launch an anti-India propaganda.

Pakistan government has also announced another Sikh congregation at Nankana Sahib but the dates are yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, the controversial statement given by the former Pakistan army chief General Aslam Baig that Pakistan will be using the Kartarpur corridor to send jihadis into India, has once again exposed Pakistan's nefarious designs.

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amrinder Singh had also expressed apprehension that Pakistan might misuse Kartarpur corridor for anti-India activities but has not opposed the idea of the corridor due to religious and political compulsions.

Interestingly, while Pakistan at one hand has taken many anti-India decisions, including the recent suspension of the Samjhauta Express, on the other hand, it has continuously said that it will go ahead with the Kartarpur corridor development. Pakistan's suspicious gesture is being seen as an attempt to earn the sympathy of the Sikh community.

Meanwhile, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy reacted to Aslam Baug's controversial statement and asked the Government of India to stall the development of the Kartarpur corridor, saying Pakistan can send terrorists to India via the corridor.

Subramanian Swamy's statement has however not gone down well with Punjab Congress leaders. Cabinet minister Charanjit Singh Channi has slammed Swamy for his statement and has termed it anti-Sikh.

Attempts are being made by the ISI and Pakistani leaders to incite the Sikhs by saying that RSS was trying to penetrate Punjab to push the Sikhs to the brink.

Senior BJP leaders have slammed Pakistan for trying to divide the communities in Punjab.
