After tough negotiations between Islamabad and New Delhi, Pakistan and India had finally signed an agreement last month paving the way for the inauguration of the Kartarpur corridor this month ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev.

The four-kilometre-long corridor, which will be inaugurated on November 9, will provide pilgrims a visa-free link between Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur and the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Indian Punjab. Up to 5,000 Indian Sikhs have been allowed access daily, with plans to eventually double the capacity.

Promoting shirk on our land, this government is so proud of facilitating musharakeen (almost all foreign origin) to do their shirk in Pakistan on permanent basis, but we are told since our childhood through our text books that we are "Islamic republic of Pakistan".

May i know if the jews stayed in Masjid e Nabvi during the era of Hazrat Muhammad SAW in the Islamic State of Medina?

So Indians do not need a passport or visa even ?Strange decision. Is there a reciprocal waiver for Pakistanis visiting India for shrines or anything like that ?

But Hazrat Muhammad SAW was not building "synagogues" for the jews of Madina and the rest of the world for religious tourism, he was just showing tolerance towards them and their religion.

Why would any Pakistani want to visit that POS land of gangus called India.

I think there is of strategic important to open this corridor to have more sympathy of sikhs around the world and especially in india and use it to provide support for the movement of Khalistan.

Jews were considered equal citizens in the law, so as equal citizens they did get protection for their religious sites, and logically for upkeep more would have been needed to be built with time. Hasn't Hazrat Umar said that he was responsible even for a Dog's death as well; these are human beings we are talking about.
Showing tolerance is not an optional gesture, it is a requirement in Islam. But you on the other hand are just a hypocrite who ran to a non-Islamic country, full of shirk, but are then preaching hate about some construction work for sikh religious sites.
