Kartarpur: The devotees of all Pakistan and abroad are arriving at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur, as three -day rituals that mark the 486 anniversary of the death of Baba Guru Nanak Begin today.
The pilgrims will commemorate the anniversary of death in solemnities made in the Gurdwara from September 20 to 22.
The event, which honors Guru Nanak’s final rest, where he spent his last 18 years, attracted thousands of YATRIS (pilgrims) of all Pakistan and abroad, although this time they were forbidden to travel to Pakistan.
The Indian Ministry of Interior Affairs denied permission to cross the border to the SIJ citizens willing to visit Kartarpur for the commemoration of the anniversary of death, citing prevailing tensions and security concerns between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Reacting to the decision, the opposition parties and the Sijs religious leaders in Punjab Indio condemned the restriction, saying that it was unjustifiable when Cricket matches were held with Pakistan.
The former Lok Sabha member, Sukhbir Singh, Badal, urged Interior Minister, Amit Shah, to reconsider the decision.
Thousands of Sij pilgrims come to Pakistan every year to commemorate Baisakhi and other religious parties.
These visits are facilitated under the Pakistan-India protocol in visits to religious sanctuaries of 1974, aimed at promoting religious harmony and cross-border understanding.
It should be noted that the relations between Pakistan and India have become their lowest point in years after the attack of mortal weapons on April 22 in India occupied by Jammu and Kashmira (Iiojk), where 26 tourists, including a Nepali national, were shot dead in the picturesque Valley Baisaran de Pahalgam.
India blamed Pakistan for the attack, accusations that Islamabad denies. After that, India launched an attack against Pakistan, marked as “Operation Sindoor”, but found an adequate response.
The Pakistani armed forces not only knocked down Indian drones that entered Pakistani territory, destroyed their border control posts, but also knocked down their combat planes, including the French manufacturing rafale.
The conflict ended after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, negotiated a high fire between the archirrivation nations.
