Pakistani Sikh leaders and the Evacuee Trust Property Board on Wednesday urged the Indian Government to allow Sikh pilgrims to participate in the commemorative event marking Guru Nanak Dev’s death anniversary at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur on September 22. Following the Pahalgam terror attack in April, India has closed the Attari-Wagah border. ETPB, the body responsible for the upkeep of minority religious sites in Pakistan, said that Sikh devotees from India have been unable to travel following the restrictions imposed in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. Urging the Indian Government to allow Sikh pilgrims to travel to their holy places in Pakistan, ETPB spokesperson Ghulam Mohyuddin said, “Our doors remain open for Sikh pilgrims.”
