Ahead of Haryana Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Sirsa on Oct 19. While addressing the rally, PM Modi said, "Delhi's sleeping government, kept making the situation in Kashmir worse.

A part of us was snatched away - PoK was formed. Some years after, Sufi tradition was finished.

Leaders in Delhi thought that if they look after 1-2 families, Kashmir will be looked after. First a part of us was given away, then Sufi culture was finished and then the system of discrimination with Jammu and Ladakh began.

There was continuous injustice with Jammu, Ladakh, Kargil - lines of discrimination were drawn." He further said, "Then a move was made where Kashmiri Pandits were murdered in Kashmir, daughters were raped, and they were forced to leave Kashmir."

PM also challenged Congress on Kartarpur Corridor saying that The Kartarpur corridor is almost complete now. This opportunity has come 7 decades after independence, 70 years went by. What can be a bigger misfortune than this that we had to see a holy place from afar, through a pair of binoculars?

He added that the distance and the obstacles between the holy place of our Guru Nanak Dev - Kartarpur Sahib and us, is now going to be eliminated. The helplessness to watch it through a pair of binoculars, for 70 yrs, is now being eliminated. He said that Congress has not contributed to the building of Kartarpur Corridor.
