Kartarpur Corridor Live Updates : Thousands won’t get chance to visit the Holy Place! Know Why
Even after the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor on November 9, thousands of Sikh pilgrims still have to take ‘darshans’ of the holy Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara by standing at the zero line at Dera Baba Nanak.
Thousands of Sikhs may not be able to visit Pakistan to visit the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara since the neighbouring country has put the passport as a pre-requisite for entry.
The pilgrims without their passports are left with no option but to see the Gurdwara Sahib from the ‘viewpoint’, the place from where they watched the Sikh shrine from the past seven decades.
One Sikh devotee Bor Singh Ji Tuta Wale has appealed to the Pakistani government that the pre-requisite to enter the country i.e the passport should be withdrawn.
"We are happy that the corridor has now been opened for the pilgrims. We are grateful to both the governments but we have a request as the passport should not be a pre-requisite to visit the Darbar Sahib. Only one or two family members have a passport in a normal Punjabi family. The benefits of the corridor will only be available to the common pilgrims if other identity cards such as the Aadhaar card or voter ID card are accepted as an identity proof," stated one person while interacting with media.
