New Delhi: Former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday urged the Centre to work with the Pakistan government to allow pilgrims to enter Kartarpur Sahib with an Aadhaar card.

“During my tenure @PunjabGovtIndia had announced to bear the $20 fees for the pilgrims visiting Kartarpur sahib via the corridor, however due to Covid restrictions the passage was closed. To ensure ‘Khule Darshan Didar’ of the holy shrine, GOP must implement this decision,” Captain wrote on his Twitter.

He further said that currently a pilgrim must have a passport to visit Kartarpur Sahib. I will urge GOI to relax this requirement & to work with the Pakistan govt to allow entry with an aadhar card. I am hopeful that both governments will agree to this in the interest of Nanak Naam Leva Sangat.
