Govt should pay ‘jaziya’ imposed by Pak: Cong

Congress leader Manish Tewari on Friday attacked the Modi government over Pakistan's decision to charge $20 from each pilgrim visiting the Sikh shrine of Kartarpur Sahib.
Pakistan is expected to earn up to $ 3,65,00,000 from pilgrims visiting the holy Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur.
The service fee from the pilgrims — Rs 259 crore per annum and about Pakistani Rs 555 crore.
As many as 5,000 pilgrims from India will travel to Pakistan through the Kartarpur corridor daily at Rs 1,400 per pilgrim cost for 5,000 pilgrims comes to Rs 70 lakh daily-about Rs 265 crore annually.

Why can't NDA/BJP government pay since they could not prevent Pakistan from imposing this jaziya?," Tewari said on Twitter.
'Jaziya' was a tax imposed on non-Muslims in earlier times.
