"Government Should Not Deprive The Sikhs of Visiting Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib":Giani Harpreet Singh

SGPC appointed jathedar also reiterated that the suspension of the pilgrimage to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib through the newly opened corridor must be lifted by the Indian government at the earliest. “The government allowed reopening the worship places in the country from July 7, but it has not allowed reopening the corridor,” he said.

“Kartarpur Sahib is very important for the Sikhs.  This can be reopened by following the guidelines of the health department. this holy place for so long,” he added.

A long-pending demand of the community residing in India and abroad, the corridor was opened in last year to give the Sikh devotees visa-free access to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur, last resting place of Guru Nanak. This is in the vicinity of the Indo-Pak border. The corridor was constructed from another historic town Dera Baba Nanak.
