A group of Sikh ‘Jatha’ departed for Pakistan’s Lahore on Tuesday for celebrating the festival of Vaisakhi (Khalsa Sajna Day). “We all are ready to go to the Guru’s place to bow the head at Guru Nanak Dev, who is the Guru for Indians and Pir for the people of Pakistan,” said group member.
“We had applied for 900 visa permits but could get permits for only 705, resulting in the disheartening of the 195 whose visas were rejected,” said Ravinder Singh Khalsa. “We really hope the new Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif to keep the brotherhood amongst countries maintained and ease the Visa system,” he added. Most of the pilgrim devotees have emphasized their demand for cancelling the visa requirements to visit the Gurudwara in the neighbouring country.
