Pakistan, India to sign Kartarpur Corridor agreement next week

October 18, 2019

ISLAMABAD: The agreement on the Kartarpur Corridor – being built to provide visa-free access to Sikh pilgrims – will be signed next week between Pakistan and India, according to diplomatic sources.

Pakistan handed the final draft of the proposed bilateral agreement to India last Friday and the signing ceremony is expected to take place on either Wednesday or Thursday.

According to sources, Pakistan has maintained the $20 fee for every pilgrim – which India refuses to make part of the draft.

Pakistan has also accepted India’s demand to allow devotees of other faiths – Hindus, Christians, Zoroastrians etc – to visit Baba Guru Nanak Devji’s final resting place.

Every day 5,000 pilgrims will be allowed to visit the holy site. India will share the list of pilgrims ten days before their visit. Pakistan will verify the list and finalise it four days before their visit.

The agreement will be signed either at Zero Point of Lahore’s Wagah border or the Kartarpur border.

Construction on Kartarpur project in final stages, says PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday announced that: "Pakistan is all set to open its doors for Sikhs from all across the globe as the construction work on Kartarpur project enters [its] final stages."

The prime minister, in a Facebook post, said that the project will be opened to the public on November 9, as promised earlier.

"The world’s largest Gurdwara will be visited by Sikhs from across India and other parts of the world," he added.

Talking about the positive impact of the project on the country, Prime Minister Imran said, "This will become a major religious hub for the Sikh community and will boost the local economy, result in earning foreign exchange for the country and creating jobs in different sectors, including travel and hospitality.

"Religious tourism is on the rise in Pakistan. Earlier, Buddhist monks visited various sites for religious rituals, followed by opening of #Kartarpur corridor," he said.

Earlier on Saturday, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had announced that former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh has accepted an invitation to attend the Kartarpur corridor inauguration ceremony, scheduled for Nov 9. However, Singh will be visiting as a common man rather than as a special guest.

According to officials, the visa-free border crossing from India to Kartarpur, Pakistan, would be inaugurated just ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Sikhism founder Baba Guru Nanak on Nov 12.

The project is a rare recent example of cooperation between the two nuclear powers, who came close to war in February. India revoked the special status of occupied Kashmir in August, inflaming relations once again.

The Sikh minority community in India’s northern state of Punjab and elsewhere has long sought easier access to the temple in Kartarpur, a village just over the border in Pakistan. The temple marks the site where the guru died.

To get there, travellers currently must first secure hard-to-get visas, travel to Lahore or another major Pakistani city and then drive to the village, which is just four kilometres from the Indian border.

Instead of visas, the Sikh pilgrims will now be given special permits to access the shrine.

Indian pilgrims will pay Pakistan $20 to use the corridor, which includes roadways, an 800-metre bridge over the River Ravi and an immigration office.

Up to 5,000 Indians will be allowed access daily, with plans to eventually double the capacity.

October 20, 2019

Prime Minister Imran Khan says Pakistan is all set to open its doors for Sikhs from across the globe. In a Facebook post, he said construction work on Kartarpur project enters final stages and will be open to public on 9th of next month.

Prime Minister said world's largest Gurdwara will be visited by Sikhs from across India and other parts of the world.

He said this will become a major religious hub for the Sikh community and will boost the local economy. Imran Khan said it will also result in earning foreign exchange for the country besides creating jobs in different sectors, including travel and hospitality.

Earlier, Buddhist monks also visited various sites in Pakistan for religious rituals.

Meanwhile, Work on Kartarpur Corridor project is about to complete as electricity has been provided to all buildings of the Complex from Shakargarh grid station.

According to official sources in Lahore, the government is working speedily on the project to fulfill its promise with the Sikh community.

The registration of Sikh pilgrims, who want to participate in the ceremonies of 550th birth anniversary of the Sikh founder, Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji, has been started.

The government has provided the best facilities at the Kartarpur Complex for the pilgrims and imported marble is being used in the construction of the 10-acre courtyard of Darbar Sahib Kartarpur. Paint and finishing work on Nishan Sahib, Sarwar, Darshan Diyorhi, entry point, Granthi House and residences made for the guests has been completed.

Special security arrangements have been made in and around the area and installation of security cameras, sound system and fire-fighting have been completed.

The decoration and beautification of the Gurudawara Kartarpur, temporary guest houses and the building of border terminal have also been completed.

Can you kindly provide sources for your claims.

Can you kindly provide sources for your claims.

What will you do with evidence?

 

[Salahuddin Ayyubi]

What will you do with evidence?

Read it. I'd like to keep myself informed. But I tried to find sources for what you mentioned and I wasn't able to. That's why I asked. It's easy to say something without proof. I'm not calling you a liar, I'm saying if you're going to make bold accusations, have some facts and proof to back it up.
