Former PM Manmohan Singh and 12 other Congress leaders will be among 575 Indian pilgrims to visit Darbar Saheb Gurdwara on the Pakistan side on November 9.

The official list of Congress participants in the first jatha to the historic gurdwara in Kartarpur includes senior Congress leaders Anand Sharma, Kumari Selja, AICC in charge for Punjab Asha Kumari, Mukul Wasnik, RPN Singh, Jitender Singh, Jyotiraditya Scindia, PL Punia, Jitin Prasada, RC Khuntia, Randeep Singh Surjewala and Deepender Hooda.

All leaders named in the Congress list to travel across the Kartarpur Corridor to mark the 550th birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Nanak are members of the Congress Working Committee.

The names were finalised by the Punjab Government after Manmohan Singh earlier accepted state CM Capt Amarinder Singh’s invitation to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur.
