Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Captain Amarinder Singh on October 18 appealed to Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan to withdraw the USD 20 fee imposed by his Government on pilgrims visiting the Kartarpur gurdwara, reports The Times of India. Amarinder tweeted, “I appeal to @ImranKhanPTI to withdraw $20 fee imposed by @PakGovernment on pilgrims to Kartarpur Sahib to facilitate ‘khulle darshan deedar’ of the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev. World Sikh community will be grateful for this gesture on the part of Islamabad.” Amarinder also said that the imposition of the fee, as well as other conditions like a mandatory passport and 30 days prior online notice by the devotees, would obstruct the realization of the dream of pilgrims, many of whom were poor and unable to afford the fee and had no access to the internet. By agreeing to construct the corridor, the Pakistan government had made a very laudable gesture, which the Sikh community really appreciated, added the CM.
