THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS(SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE)
In October 2005, a draft to revise the existing Protocol on Visit to Religious Shrines,1974,was
handed over to Pakistan.The draft proposes increase in the number of pilgrims as also Shrines to
be visited,including Kartarpur Sahib.During the visit of the Foreign Minister of Pakistan to India
in June 2008,it was proposed that a team from India could be sent to Kartarpur Sahib to work out
the modalities for pilgrimage.The response from Pakistan is awaited to both these proposals.
