Around 3,000 visas have been granted by Pakistan to Sikh pilgrims from India in honour of the 554th Birthday Celebrations of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The pilgrims are expected to participate in the festivities in Pakistan, which include visits to significant religious sites like Dera Sahib, Panja Sahib, Nankana Sahib, and Kartarpur Sahib.

The Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi facilitated the issuance of these visas for Sikh pilgrims, allowing them to participate in the birthday celebrations scheduled to take place in Pakistan from November 25 to December 4, 2023, Express Tribune reported.

This visa allocation adheres to the established framework outlined in the Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines, initiated in 1974.

During their pilgrimage, Sikh Yatrees from India will have the opportunity to engage in various religious festivals and observe significant occasions. The pilgrimage holds profound importance for followers of Sikhism, particularly during the commemoration of the birthday of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji, a revered figure in the Sikh faith.

Aizaz Khan, the Charge d’Affaires, expressed sincere congratulations to the Sikh pilgrims on this auspicious occasion. He conveyed warm wishes for a safe and meaningful journey as the pilgrims embark on their visit to the religious shrines in Pakistan.

This issuance of visas to Sikh Yatrees from India for religious festivals in Pakistan is part of an established annual tradition. This tradition underscores the commitment to promoting people-to-people exchanges, fostering religious harmony, and facilitating individuals in observing their religious practices. It serves as a testament to the enduring efforts to enhance cultural and religious ties between the two nations.
