Sikh pilgrimage to Pak shrines gets Centre’s nod amid tense ties
Hindustan Times Ludhiana
|October 03, 2025
The Union government on Thursday granted permission to Sikh pilgrims to undertake a 10-day journey to the Nankana Sahib shrine in Pakistan and mark the birth anniversary of Sikhism’s founder Guru Nanak, roughly two weeks after it refused permission for the holy trip citing security concerns.
The information was confirmed by the SGPC and the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee which facilitate the pilgrims’ journey to Pakistan on special occasions.
“Several requests have now been received from Sikh organisations and leaders to review the decision of the government and allow Sikh Jathas on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birth anniversary as it is important to the Sikh ethos and religious heritage. Accordingly, the government has now reviewed the restrictions imposed on travel of Sikh Jathas to Pakistan for this occasion only,” said a letter from the Union home ministry to chief secretaries of northern states including Punjab.
