ISLAMABAD, Apr 7 (APP): On the eve of Baisakhi celebrations, the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi had issued over 2200 visas to Sikh pilgrims from India to participate in the annual festival scheduled to be held in Pakistan from April 12 to 21.<\/p>\n

The issuance of visas was covered under the framework of the Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines of 1974. Every year, a large number of Sikh Yatrees from India visit Pakistan to observe various religious festivals\/occasions. The visas issued from New Delhi were in addition to the visas granted to Sikh pilgrims participating in these events from other countries.<\/p>\n

The issuance of pilgrimage visas to religious pilgrims by the High Commission was in line with the Government of Pakistan\u2019s commitment to fully implement the Bilateral Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Expressing his views on the auspicious occasion, Charge d\u2019Affaires Aftab Hasan Khan, extended his heartfelt felicitations to the pilgrims and wished them a rewarding and fulfilling yatra. Pakistan took immense pride in preserving sacred religious places and providing necessary facilitation to the visiting pilgrims, he added.<\/p>\n

During the visit, the pilgrims would, inter alia, go to Panja Sahib, Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur Sahib. They would enter Pakistan on 12 April and return back to India on 21 April 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
