Pakistan imposing 'Jazia' on Sikhs for visiting Kartarpur Gurdwara, says BJP national secretary

[Kabira]

Dubai: An Indian political leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party has said termed a $20 (Dh73) service fee on Indian pilgrims travelling to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib through the proposed Kartarpur corridor as "jazia" (a tax traditionally sought from non-Muslims).

On Saturday, Tarun Chugh, BJP national secretary and co-incharge of the party in the national capital, alleged that this is yet another attempt by Pakistan to scuttle the scheduled opening of the corridor between the two countries.

So when Indian hindus and sikhs pay money for different kinds of yatras inside India, it means they are paying jazia to Hindutva government of India

 

[Kabira]

Looks like for Indians $20 is some kind of big deal. Cheap people.

I believe when you visit a new country their is a small entry tax

Saudi Arabia collects tax when people go do Hajj or Umra standard practice

LOL Dirty RSS cvnts still cannot get over Kartarpur diplomacy loss.

That reminds me....shouldn't kulbushan be paying some kind of additional jazya since we granted him consular access? All this paperwork costs money yknow.

 

[Ghareeb_Da_Baal]

jaziya cannot be imposed on non citizens who come over as visitors.

who is going to pay for the manpower provided to serve their various needs? Pakistan?

crying about 20 dollars but same Sikhs do not mind paying 3 or even 4 times that to access/visit their sites within bharat (proofs available upon polite request)

It isnt the sikhs that are complaining.

its nothing but an attempt of religious based propaganda to undermine Kartarpur corridor initiative

My sister in law, a proud Sikh will be welcoming her fellow Sikhs who will be happy to pay, and learn about the great Khalistan project.

Even my biweekly car wash cost more than that. (Excluding taxes).

Eventually, it should be raised to $40 per person. We need to create a multi-billion dollar religious tourism industry.

 

[SkyWolf]

yes they are, I can name a few very prominent ones if you like. But then PDFers would start saying: ah but they don't matter because they are BJP bakhts or are saffronized or are a minority etc.

Thats fine i will believe you. I suspect 20$ should not be a problem for most regular sikhs. If some our poor as many in india are, they can apply for a waiver. Pakistanis are a poor but still hospitable people.

 

[SkyWolf]

then they should ask bharat for a subsidy just like hajis from Pakistan get from Pakistan treasury and not from Saudis

They srsly cant afford 20$?

Were they expecting Pak to have high tea prepared for them? Do they think that they are doing us an "Ehsaan" by bringing their 'Tashreef' in Kartarpur?
