KARTARPUR, Pakistan - Contacts between India and Pakistan are “zero”, Pakistan’s foreign minister said, even as the old rivals prepared to open a border crossing for Indian pilgrims to visit a Sikh temple, one of their most significant acts of cooperation in decades.
Hundreds of Indian delegates including members of the opposition Congress Party are expected to cross the border for the Saturday ceremony, though Pakistani officials familiar with the guest list said there was no representation from India’s ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Relations have been especially tense since August, when India stripped autonomy and statehood from its portion of Kashmir.The Punjab region, the ancestral home of the Sikh faith, was split between India and Pakistan at independence.
