Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Amarinder Singh engaged in a war of words over the Kartarpur corridor issue Friday, with the Union minister accusing the Punjab government of non-cooperation and the chief minister countering her, saying the ball was totally in Centre's court.

Badal, the Union minister for food processing industries, charged the Singh-led Punjab government with not being serious about the early opening of the corridor that will facilitate Sikh pilgrims from India in visiting the historic Kartarpur gurdwara in Pakistan.

"The central government is doing its best on a war footing to complete the corridor at the earliest," she told reporters in Ludhiana.

The Punjab government has been asked to start acquisition of land, she said, adding,"It was sad that the Punjab government was not cooperating the way it should."
