Kartarpur pilgrims won't be subjected to Khalistani propaganda, Pak assures India

India Thursday asked Pakistan to ensure that the Kartarpur Sahib pilgrims are not subjected to the Khalistani separatist propaganda with the neighbouring country promising that it will not allow any such activity, an MEA official said.

The Pakistan gave the assurance Thursday during a meeting of officials from the two countries on the proposed Kartarpur Sahib corridor.

India also said this meeting should not be seen as resumption of dialogue between the two countries.

"The matter (pro-Khalistan propaganda) has been part of discussions in which our concerns were shared with Pakistani side and we have asked them to ensure that no such activity should take place which goes against the faith of pilgrims," MEA Joint Secretary Deepak Mittal told reporters.

"The Pakistani side told us that they would not allow their land for any such activity. We have, however, expressed our concern," he said
