A day after news reports surfaced that Pakistan has agreed to sign an agreement on the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor on October 23, sources said on Tuesday that the signing agreement is unlikely on Wednesday for reasons not yet known.
However, the next date of signing the agreement is not yet decided.
The much-awaited Kartarpur agreement between India and Pakistan was about to sign on Wednesday. The Gurudwara is likely to be open to pilgrims before November 12.
The Centre had requested Pakistan to waive off 20 dollars fee which Pakistan demanded to charge per visitor. India called Pakistan's decision of charging pilgrims a rigid, unreasonable and inflexible demand. During the second level of talks, Pakistan had agreed to allow 5,000 Sikh pilgrims to the shrine every day through the corridor. Pakistan had, however, denied to allow officials to accompany pilgrims during the visit.
Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his counterpart Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan have been shown eagerness to open the Kararpur corridor for the Sikh pilgrims on the auspicious occasion of the 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak.
