Pak U-turn on Kartarpur Corridor: Army spokesperson says passport must for Indian pilgrims

India Today  

Pakistan Army spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor said that Indian Sikh pilgrims would require a passport to use Kartarpur Corridor, which will be inaugurated on Saturday. This comes after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on November 1 had announced that his government waived off two key requirements for Sikh pilgrims travelling for pilgrimage to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur from India. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will open the Kartarpur Corridor ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak on November 12. India and Pakistan last week signed the agreement on the Kartarpur Corridor that will allow Indian pilgrims to undertake visa-free visit to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, the shrine of the Sikh religion's founder Guru Nanak Dev in Pakistan, notwithstanding a chill in bilateral ties over Kashmir.
