All Congress MPs and MLAs in Punjab will join Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in paying obeisance at the Golden Temple here tomorrow.

The chief minister is scheduled to visit the Sri Harmandar Sahib from 8 am to 9 am, before going to Jallianwala Bagh to pay homage to the martyrs, an official spokesman said here.

He will also visit the Durgiana Mandir and then the Sri Ram Tirath Sthal.

The chief minister, who reached Amritsar this evening after a visit to Tarn Taran, had been planning the Harmandar Sahib visit since taking over the reins of government in the state but had been constrained by work issues and a relapse of his foot injury, with doctors advising him restricted movement, the spokesman said.
 

Recently, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) had criticised Amarinder for not paying obeisance at the Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine, after becoming chief minister.

The spokesman said the chief minister, who was accompanied in Tarn Taran by cabinet colleagues Rana Gurjit Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu, besides the local MLA, will be joined by the other MPs and MLAs in Amritsar.
