The Gurdwara Sahib in Kartarpur, which is situated in the Punjab province of Pakistan, is once again in the news.
Ahead of the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections on June 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the claim while campaigning in Punjab that, had he been in power at the time, he would have reclaimed the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara from Pakistan in 1971.
“We could only have a ‘darshan’ of the Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara with binoculars for 70 years,” Modi remarked.
He declared, “Had Modi been there at that time, he would have liberated their troops and taken Kartapur Sahib from them.”
“I did what I could, but they (Congress) did not do that,” Modi continued.
However, what makes this gurdwara important?
