Pakistan government has proposed a charge of $20 from every pilgrim visiting Kartarpur Corridor on November 9, contrary toearlier stand.
The border corridor between Pakistan and India will be inaugurated for pilgrims tomorrow.
This is Pakistan's second U-turn after Pakistan Army spokesman Major Gen Asif Ghafoor on Wednesday announced that Indian Sikh pilgrims would require a passport.
Earlier Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Sikhs coming for the pilgrimage to Kartarpur from India won't need to produce a passport.
"For Sikhs coming for a pilgrimage to Kartarpur from India, I have waived 2 requirements: i) they won't need a passport - just a valid ID; ii) they no longer have to register 10 days in advance. Also, no fee will be charged on the day of inauguration & on Guruji's 550th birthday," Khan had said in a tweet.
Pakistan did not agree to India's demand to make the Kartapur Gurdwara's visit, charge-free.
