LAHORE: India stopped on Thursday 720 Sikh pilgrims from attending the Saka festival being held in Pakistan from Feb 18 to 25, citing Covid-19 and “safety” reasons.
Pakistan criticised the Indian government decision, calling it a grave human rights violation.
“Sikh pilgrims were scheduled to enter Lahore via Wagah border and we all were there to welcome them, when we came to know that the Indian government has barred them from coming to Pakistan,” Pakistan Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PGPC) Chief Sardar Satwant Singh told a press conference at Lahore Dera Sahib temple on Thursday.
