On Monday (3 November 2025) on the occasion of Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, a group of Sikh devotees left for Pakistan from India. Like every year, this time also this group was sent to visit Kartarpur Sahib and Nankana Sahib Gurudwara, but this time Pakistan did not allow Hindu devotees to enter along with the group.
According to officials, 12 Hindu pilgrims included in the Sikh group were stopped by Pakistani immigration officials. Pakistani officials posted at Wagah Border objected and said that this group is only for Sikh devotees. Hindu citizens cannot be allowed to enter Pakistan. After this, the Indian authorities had to send all those 12 devotees back from the border.
Sikh group went to Pakistan for the first time after Operation Sindoor
This journey was also special because this was the first time after Operation Sindoor, when a group of Sikh devotees from India went to Pakistan. After this operation, tension in India-Pakistan relations increased, but despite this, Indian devotees were allowed to attend the Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
India expressed displeasure
Indian officials expressed displeasure over this incident and called it an example of religious discrimination. Officials said that India has never behaved like this with the devotees of any country. This incident is against the spirit of the India-Pakistan religious pilgrimage agreement, under which both the countries allow the movement of pilgrims to each other. This action of Pakistan has once again raised the question whether Pakistan is also making religious pilgrimages a part of politics?
