New Delhi : A jatha of 1,796 Sikh pilgrims from India will visit Pakistan to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji on November 5, paying their respects at various historic gurudwaras on the occasion of ‘Parkash Purb’.
The pilgrims will enter Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah border. Expressing their happiness, several members of the jatha thanked the government for granting them permission to undertake the pilgrimage.
“We thank the government for giving permission to do darshan…” said one pilgrim, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to visit the sacred sites.
Another pilgrim, appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to allow the darshan, while also suggesting that the visa procedure should be simplified so that more devotees can participate in the pilgrimage.
“Even after Operation Sindoor, the yatra continue to remain normal, we did not expect PM Modi to allow the yatra, but we thank him for this decision…The visa procedure should be simple so that more people can go.”
