Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of making the "mistake" of letting Kartarpur Sahib — the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev — go to Pakistan during partition due to its "scramble for power" post-independence.

The party overlooked the sentiments of millions of Sikhs attached with the holy place, he said addressing a public meeting in poll-bound Rajasthan. Modi said the Congress, during its 70 years of rule in the country, could not arrange for people to worship at Kartarpur and he was fortunate that the job of building the Kartarpur corridor fell to his lot.
