Pakistan's Military Overrules Most of PM Imran Khan's Decisions on Kartarpur Corridor
[SPUTNIKNEWS] Pakistain Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer...
had said on 1 November that Indians visiting the historic Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara would not require passports. He had also waived the $20 fee per pilgrim, for the inaugural day on 9 November.

A day ahead of the inauguration of the historic religious corridor, Pakistain told India on Friday that it will charge each Indian pilgrim visiting the Kartarpur Gurudwara a $20 fee.

The development came a day after the Pakistain army overruled Prime Minister Khan’s decision to allow pilgrims to visit the Sikh shrine located in Narowal district of Pakistain passport-free.

On Wednesday, Pakistain military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor said Islamabad would not show any leniency towards those using the agreed corridor.

The Pakistain prime minister had promised to waive visa fees on the day of the inauguration which coincides with the commemoration of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion.

As per the agreement signed between the two countries on 24 October, Indians were required to carry valid passports and pay $20 for each visit.
