Pakistan invites Indian Sikhs

The Pakistan government has sent out invitations to Indian Sikhs to attend celebrations marking the 551st birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. As per the details of the invitation, sent in advance via the Indian Sikh Sangats, the devotees will be offered a five-day visa to enter Pakistan after a mandatory COVID-19 test. The country's Waqf board and the Pakistan Sikh GurdwaraParbandhak Committee have also sent regular invitations and itineraries to various other Sikh societies including the Shiromani Committee of India, inviting them to the festivities. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Indian Sikhs will be allowed to stay in Pakistan only for a limited period of time, without any extensions. (IANS)
