Guru Nanak Dev ji 's Death Anniversary at Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib,Pakistan

                           Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara, Pakistan                       

Hundreds of Pakistani Sikhs visited the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, a huge temple in Kartarpur marking the grave of Sikhism's founder Guru Nanak, to commemorate the 481st anniversary of his death.

This year would have been the first time Indian Sikhs could have crossed visa-free into Pakistan to mark the anniversary at the site, located just 4km inside the country, after a special crossing was opened in November 2019.

Coronavirus fears meant a historic travel corridor created last year to let Indian Sikhs visit a holy shrine in north-east Pakistan remained closed on Tuesday (Sept 22) on one of the faith's most sacred days.

Vaneet Singh :A Sikh Taxi Driver Was Attacked in His Car As He Drove Four Passengers Home From a Casino

Vaneet Singh said the men slapped and shoved him as he drove along the A33 after collecting them from the Grosvenor Casino in Reading,UK in the early hours of Sunday.

The 41-year-old said one of the men tried to remove his turban and asked him: "Are you Taliban?"

Police investigating the incident said no arrests have been made.

Mr Singh, who lives in Tilehurst,UK with his wife and three young children, said he had started working as a taxi driver because the coronavirus pandemic had stalled his job teaching music to children in Slough.

He said: "It was horrible, really frightening, I will never work the nightshift again. I'm still very scared."

Mr Singh said the person in the middle of the back of the car pulled his turban as he was driving and slapped him on the head, while others kicked and punched the back of his driver's seat.

He said the passengers were well behaved at the start of the journey but "totally changed" as it went on.

"It's very bad experience. It's my religion so I respect my turban," he said.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said the force was investigating a report of assault and appealed for witnesses.

SAD Stage Massive Protest In Front Of Pakistan High Commission For Immediate Release of Minor Bulbul Kaur Abducted By Muslim Youth

DSGMC demands "our daughters must be returned back to their families in Pak or we will be forced to take this matter to UN."

New Delhi, September 21 : The Shiromani Akali Dal today staged a massive protest in front of Pakistan High Commission here and demanded immediate release of Bulbul Kaur minor daughter of Head Granthi Panja Sahib who was abducted by two Muslim Youth.

Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) President Mr. Manjinder Singh Sirsa and the Shiromani Akali Dal Delhi Unit President Mr. Harmeet Singh and other leaders addressed the protestors. They said that Bulbul Kaur should be immediately released and handed over to family. Father of girl Head Granthi is totally disturbed over this abduction and he narrated the whole incident to community members while he was crying all along.

They said that it is shocking to see that 17 year old minor was abducted by two Muslim youth and after 12/13 days she rang her family to tell that she had been kept in a Madrasa and was being forced to change her religion.

 

They said that Sikh girls are specifically targeted. First daughter of Head Granthi Nankana Sahib and now daughter of Head Granthi Panja Sahib has been abducted only to give a message that daughters of Sikhs are choosing to adopt Islam on their own.

Mr. Sirsa said that former Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (PSGPC) Chief gave statement in favour of Sikhs, a case of treason was registered against him. He had only said that when our daughters aged 12/13 go to school we are worried whether they will comeback or not.

Others prominent present on the occasion included Ranjit Kaur President Istri Wing, Harinder Singh KP, Paramjeet singh Chandhok, Jagdeep singh Kahlon, Sarabjeet singh Virk, Bhupinder singh Bhullar besides others.
