Gurdaspur, September 17

BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa today said he would urge the Central Government to revoke the condition of passport requirement for devotees intending to travel to the Kartarpur shrine across the border.

Sirsa himself visited the shrine today with his supporters. He said that there was a misconception in people’s minds that visas will be stamped on their passports if they travel to the Kartarpur shrine.

“That is not right. The passports are just checked at the corridor and visas are not stamped on them,” he said.

He added that the clause of 20$ fee was also confusing. “This too should be withdrawn,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
