Nanak birth anniversary: Centre allows Sikh jathas to visit Pak; caution advised
The Centre has reversed its earlier ban, now permitting Sikh jathas to visit Pakistan for Guru Nanak Dev's parkash purb, bringing relief to devotees. Initially citing security concerns for November 2025, the government faced strong criticism from Sikh leaders. This decision, following community backlash, allows pilgrims to fulfill their long-held religious aspirations at sacred gurdwaras across the border.
