A day earlier, the hoarding hailing PM Khan and former cricketer Navjoth Singh Sidhu were put up across Amritsar city.
The hoardings hailed PM Imran Khan and Navjoth Singh Sidhu for the Kartarpur Corridor project. The message in a local language expressed love and affection for both the celebrated figures. The messages on the billboard cheered them as heroes for commencing a peace initiative between the two countries.

The media stated, the hoardings were put up by Amritsar Municipal Councillor Harpal Singh Verka who is known to be close to Sidhu. Sidhu, who is himself a Congress leader, is the staunch critics of PM Modi’s policies.
The billboards appeared on Tuesday afternoon but were taken down within an hour by the authorities.
Global Sikh community is eternally grateful to the people of Pakistan and Pakistan administration @ImranKhanPTI for an amazing effort to complete the Kartarpur Sahib corridor project for its inaugural on November 9. Thank you Prime Minister Imran Khan 🙏

His announcement of special waivers for the Sikh pilgrims earned him further respect from the community. To facilitate the Sikh pilgrims, he asserted that the travelers from Kartarpur Corridor would not require a passport as long as they have a valid National ID card. He also waived the requirement for pre-registration of visitors 10 days in advance, and that no fees would be charged on the day of inauguration and Baba Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary.
