Prime minister Imran Khan opened the Kartarpur Corridor for the Sikh community, and inaugurated it wholeheartedly, in a ceremony that had people like Navjot Singh Siddhu and Sunny Deol visit the site from across the border.

Pakistanis welcomed the Sikh community in the most wholesome way.
What speaks more to Punjabis than a traditional beat of dhol?
Such a warm welcome by Pakistan at Airport ❤❤❤
Amusing thing was Muslims were also there to receive us.
Religious diversity at its best at Pakistan#KartarpurCorridorForPeace #ThankYouPakistan pic.twitter.com/EBIvIHr99Q— Balbeir Singh (@BalbeirSingh1) November 9, 2019
And the Sikh community was immensely grateful. Siddhu even gave a heartwarming, impassioned speech for his friend of many years.
Truly, it was a historic moment and a brilliant gesture of warmth on Pakistan’s part.
Like me alot of my Brothers were at tears to be at Kartarpur for first time. This is the moment of my life which will always remember to be the best moment ❤#ThankYouPakistan pic.twitter.com/aEl5ZAgvWk

However, while Pakistan constantly makes an effort to restore peace, the Indian government doesn’t seem to be reciprocating the same energy. On the same day as the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor, the Indian supreme court announced its decision to build a temple in place of the historic Babri mosque in India.
This left many people on both sides of the border extremely disappointed
The #BabriMasjid verdict & the opening of the #KartarpurCorridor 2day hv shown how tolerant the 2 respective countries are towards minority religions.While we’re opening up to other faiths,our neighbours seem 2be suppressing them further. Why can't the world see what is going on? pic.twitter.com/Re9bMwBieA

The recent verdict on Babri masjid further exposed the totalitarian regime ruling India. Prayers with the Indian Muslims. May Allah give them Sabar and Isteqamat #BabriMasjid

First the dome of the #BabriMasjid caved in; then, some years later, the Supreme Court's.

The 5 acre land is not a compensation but means to curb the struggle for justice.
It's the burial ground of "justice, equity and good conscience."#BabriMasjid #AyodhyaJudgment— Talha Faiyazuddin (@talhaFaiyaz) November 10, 2019
That day when Pakistan feels more secular than India… and you feel proud.
Pakistan – land of all religions
Hindustan – land of one religion #BabriMasjid #AYODHYAVERDICT pic.twitter.com/bvYhcrdkOh— HRA🛡️ (@HaroonRAli) November 10, 2019
Shame on you India.
This Nazi bigot had taken out Rath Yatra in 1990 which causes bloodbath across the country.
Then he reached to Ayodhya and illegally demolished Babri Masjid.
He never got punished, he was glorified by Indian Society.#BabriMasjid https://t.co/OWpy89I21b

But, all in all, Pakistanis are really proud of being part of a nation that offers a cup of tea when the rivalry gets intense.
To many more corridors of peace & prosperity inshAllah 🇵🇰❤️❤️ #KartarpurCorridor

Our PM just keeps knocking it out of the park! The opening of #KartarpurCorridor shows who we are as a nation & the direction our country is heading towards. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Pakistan is a dignified country of peace.Welcome our Sikh brother & sisters
